Police claim Brandon Donnelly, 20, had no lawful reason to be where he was when he allegedly drove the wrong way around a roundabout at the intersection of Ginninderra and Florey drives on Thursday night.

The man is alleged to have turned off the headlights of an Audi he was driving before eventually stopping for officers in Charnwood.

In documents tendered to the ACT Magistrates Court on Friday, police say Mr Donnelly refused to show them a driver's licence, tell them where he lived, or do a breath test.

As he was placed under arrest, he allegedly clung to the steering wheel to stop officers pulling him out of the car.

Mr Donnelly is accused of then grabbing a senior constable's gun and trying to take a Taser from a second officer, ripping it and its holster from that officer's stab-resistant vest.

"The defendant continued resisting as he was removed from the driver's door area," the police documents state.

"[He] adopted a fighting stance, clenching his fists and swinging his arms.

"The defendant struggled with both police officers, knocking [one] in the mouth, causing his lip to bleed, and causing [the other's] ring finger ... to dislocate."

The senior constable eventually Tasered Mr Donnelly in order to allow the other officer to handcuff the 20-year-old.

Subsequent investigations allegedly revealed the number plates on the Audi were from a Holden Astra, and that the car was unregistered and uninsured. Mr Donnelly was also allegedly unlicensed.

Upon the 20-year-old's arrival at the ACT watch house a short time after his arrest, police claim he refused to wear a face mask.

He also allegedly kicked a door into a third officer there, injuring that man's finger and bruising his arm.

According to the police documents, the 20-year-old continued resisting until he was eventually placed in a cell.

Mr Donnelly did not enter pleas when he was formally charged with 14 offences in court on Friday.

These included three counts each of assaulting a front-line community service provider and resisting police, as well as a charge of failing to comply with a health direction.

He applied for bail, with Legal Aid lawyer Ellie Wallis telling the court Mr Donnelly perhaps had a legitimate reason to be out on Thursday night because the lockdown restrictions allowed him to visit his girlfriend.

Ms Wallis described the 20-year-old as "a very good candidate for bail", saying he had family support and did not have a history of non-compliance with court orders.

Prosecutor Alexandra Back opposed bail, saying Mr Donnelly had "shown a disregard for police authority" and acted "incredibly violently".

Ms Back called the alleged lockdown breach concerning, questioning why Mr Donnelly had been "completely non-compliant" with police instead of answering their questions if he had a lawful reason to be out.

Magistrate Louise Taylor ultimately found there was no reason to think Mr Donnelly would not take bail conditions seriously, releasing him on conditional liberty.

She had earlier taken aim at police over the contents of a bail consideration form, which she said contained assertions the safety of every serving officer would be at risk if the 20-year-old was released from custody.

"[The form is] full of complete and utter exaggeration," Ms Taylor said.

"It completely undermines anything else they allege the defendant has done because it reveals they're prone to exaggeration."

Mr Donnelly will appear in court again at a later date.
