Sergeant Cameron Ross, of the Warrnambool police divisional response unit, said John Mario Boffa was intercepted in Raglan Parade, Dennington, on May 19.
Mr Boffa, aged in his 50s, was a front seat passenger and a search located drugs in the vehicle.
The driver and Mr Boffa were arrested and taken to the Warrnambool police station where a further search was conducted.
In Mr Boffa's underwear police claim they found an extra 30 grams of ice.
All up police located 47 grams of the drug.
Crystal methylamphetamine has previously been estimated to have a street value of up to $1000 a gram.
The current wholesale is down to about $200 a gram.
Mr Boffa appeared in Warrnambool Magistrates Court, did not apply for bail and was remanded in custody until June 12.
Late last week police conducted raids which led to two Warrnambool people being arrested for drug offences.
Julie Murphy, 40, and Alan Roberts, 32, were interviewed, charged and remanded in custody charged with drug offences including trafficking.
