Police escorted Ellwood to the police car when he refused to get in and began arguing about leaving his car.
The responding senior constable warned Ellwood if he did not get into the police car, he would be charged with obstructing police.
Ellwood was given a last chance, however, he did not comply and was subsequently arrested for obstructing police.
He was transported due to the Gladstone police station due to behaviour such as grabbing onto the police car and tensing his arms before being handcuffed.
Ellwood was processed through the Gladstone Watch-house and released on a bail undertaking to appear in Gladstone Magistrates Court.
