Steven Bausch, 28, of Laverock Road, Warrnambool, successfully applied for bail in the Warrnambool Magistrates Court charged with possession and trafficking a drug of dependence, committing an offence on bail, breaching his bail conditions and introducing prohibited items into a police jail.
Magistrate Ann McGarvie granted bail with strict conditions based largely on the evidence of Mr Bausch’s mother.
He will be back in court in early September.
Earlier: A WARRNAMBOOL man already on bail charged in relation to the ramming of a police van will appear in court on Monday after trying to introduce drugs into the Warrnambool police station cells.
Police said that the 28-year-old arrived at the Warrnambool police station with clothes for a prisoner about 4.30pm Friday.
A search of the clothes found contraband in the waist band of a pair of track suit pants.
Officers found a couple of rolled cigarettes, match heads and strikers and a small tab of prescription medication Suboxone.
Police attended the man's address at 9.05pm Friday but he was not home, which was in breach of his overnight curfew.
They went back just after 11pm and arrested him.
He was interviewed and charged with possession and trafficking a drug of dependence, committing an offence on bail, breaching his bail conditions and introducing prohibited items into a police jail.
The man was remanded in custody by a bail justice over the weekend and will appear in the Warrnambool Magistrates Court on Monday for a bail/remand hearing.
