A man allegedly the subject of a Central Otago manhunt this week will apply for bail on Monday.
William Hillis Cottle (19), retailer, of Mosgiel, was arrested yesterday morning after an area around Cromwell was put in lockdown on Wednesday.
Cordons were in place around Lowburn and Mt Pisa, and residents were advised to lock their cars and stay in their homes.
Cottle was allegedly found at a property in Cromwell at 8am yesterday, police said.
He made a brief appearance in the Queenstown District Court yesterday before this afternoon's court hearing in the Dunedin District Court, which he attended via an audio-visual link from Invercargill Prison.
Counsel Debbie Ericsson made an application, the details of which cannot be revealed.
However, after discussion with the judge and police, the matter was adjourned until next week.
Cottle is charged with reckless driving which allegedly took place on Dunedin's George St on Monday, as well as intentionally damaging a Mitsubishi Triton with reckless disregard for the safety of two people.
The following day, it is alleged he intentionally damaged a car window, assaulted its owner with intent to injure him, and had possession of an axe on Watson St.
It is understood Cottle has also been charged with possessing a firearm in relation to his activities in Central Otago.
About 35 police staff from throughout the South were involved in the incident, police said.
They included armed offenders squad members and police negotiating team members from Dunedin, plus dogs and their handlers from Invercargill.
A police helicopter, drone and road spikes were also used.
