Aussie man charged over drugs in Bali

An Australian man allegedly caught with methamphetamine and ecstasy during a raid on a villa where he was staying in Bali has been formally charged.
The Melbourne man, who has been identified by police as Ricky Shane Rawson, could face up to 12 years in jail if convicted.
It is alleged he was found with a small bag of methamphetamine and two ecstasy pills at a villa where he was staying in the upmarket area of Seminyak during a raid on Saturday.
Police in Bali on Monday said they intended to charge Rawson with possession, adding that the offence carried a penalty of between four and 12 years in jail.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) on Tuesday confirmed that a 48-year-old Australian man from Victoria had been formally arrested and charged with possession.
"He has appointed a lawyer to represent him," a DFAT spokesperson said.
"Consular officers are providing consular assistance to the man and his family."
