Police were called to his address following reports of a noise complaint about 4.15am on Wednesday.
He later attended a police station and was charged by Yarra crime investigation unit detectives with four counts of assaulting police and two counts of stalking.
He faced court for a filing hearing on Wednesday night and made no application for bail.
He is set to face court again on Thursday.
It comes after police responded to a disturbance at his home last week. Officers attended his address on September 8 following reports of yelling and loud music at the address.
Police at the time said the investigation was ongoing.
Pusey was released from Ravenhall Correctional Centre on August 25 having served time for outraging public decency and other offences relating to the crash on the Eastern Freeway on April 22 last year.
In August, Magistrate Hayley Bate ruled that Pusey had done enough jail time for assaulting a woman; two road-rage incidents; sending menacing emails to a bank worker, and smashing a slab of beer in a Fitzroy bottle shop.
She imposed a four-month sentence â€" already served â€" and also ordered an extra two months hang over him for the next two years while he agrees to be of good behaviour and undergoes mental health treatment.
When he was released from jail, he wore an Arabian-style headdress, a face mask with the words “Fake news†on it and a shirt with the slogan “Get me Oprah†printed on the front.
He has been banned from working as a mortgage broker for the next decade after the Australian Securities and Investments Commission said it had revoked his licence for making false statements in credit licence applications and compliance statements between 2011 and 2017.
The commission also banned him on character grounds because he lacked honesty, judgment and had “no regard for the lawâ€.
