A man facing drugs charges after a police raid which allegedly turned up cash, cocaine, MDMA, and steroids was already on bail for a serious offence, a court has heard.
After being arrested on Thursday night, Gregory Jason Merrilees briefly faced the ACT Magistrates Court.
From Canberratimes.com.au:
Police allege they found 8g of suspected cocaine, 100 tablets believed to be MDMA or ''ecstasy'' and three vials of steroids.
Merrilees' lawyer told the court her client was already on bail over serious alleged offences which carry a maximum penalty of five years or more. Under territory law a person accused of committing further crimes while on bail for a serious offence has to show special or exceptional circumstances to justify their release on bail again. Merrilees was remanded in custody.
Merrilees was formally charged with unlawful possession of property, cocaine trafficking, possessing anabolic steroids, and also faces a charge of driving while disqualified.
