“A bong and a gas lighter were [also] taken from the perpetrator. In the interrogation room, [Smith] admitted that the meth belonged to him and that he got it from [a man] in Australia,” a police statement read.

“The evidence is sufficient to prove that the perpetrator has committed drug offences based on testimonies of witnesses, the perpetrator and based on the evidence and the positive urine test, as well as the existence of meth.”

Smith’s lawyer said the alleged sender in Australia knew Smith had used methamphetamine “since years ago”.

“Troy told me that he bought [a] car and because the payment was smoothly made, [the other man] gave him the meth as a ‘thank you’,” he said.

Police said Smith’s wife, Tracy, had no knowledge of the package and had never seen her husband consume methamphetamine. Her urine test was negative, they said.
