Ethan Geebung, 23, of Commercial Road, failed to appear at court on Friday.
He was bailed from the Warrnambool Magistrates Court on June 10 after he spent a month in custody. He was charged with trafficking, possessing and using drugs and dealing in the proceeds of crime.
Senior Constable Ross Patton, of Warrnambool police, previously told the court that investigations into the seized phone showed Mr Geebung had been trafficking drugs to between 30 and 40 people.
Previously Mr Geebung’s former partner Natalie Gilbert told the court she ended their relationship because of his behaviour and the people with whom he was associating.
“I was horrified with the danger he was bringing around his children and the choices he was making,” she said.
Mr Geebung has no prior convictions.
In opposing bail, police prosecutor Senior Constable Nathan Brown said the accused had lost almost $10,000 of a syndicate’s money and police had fears for his safety and that of his family members.
