“After being interviewed, he was charged with offensive behaviour,” SA Police said.
The accused was bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on October 28.
SA Premier Peter Malinauskas had also urged the accused to turn himself in.
Meanwhile Freeman, 56, remains on the run after allegedly shooting dead two police officers at his Porepunkah property, 300km northeast of Melbourne, a week ago.
More than 400 police are searching high and low across Victoria’s high country.
People have been warned not to approach him because he might be armed.
