Officers at Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport arrested an Australian citizen for marijuana possession on Monday.
The man, 48-year-old Robert Paul McJannett, was arrested after disembarking from a Virgin Blue flight from Perth on Monday at 11:30 p.m.
“We found two grams of marijuana in his luggage,” airport custom official Bagus Endro Wibowo said on Tuesday.
According to Bagus, McJannett arrived in Bali with his 21-year-old son. When his luggage was passed through an airport X-ray machine, officers detected a piece of metal inside his bag. Officers thought the metal piece was gold, but when they opened the luggage, they found plastic-wrapped marijuana hidden inside one of his socks.
Officers confiscated McJannet’s Australian and British passports.
When he was questioned at the immigration office, McJannett was not cooperative and once tried to flush the marijuana to the toilet. He refused to have an urine test and sign an investigation report.
“The suspect has been handed over to Bali Police for further processing,” Bagus said.
