A Japanese citizen was arrested last week when Bali Narcotics Police found him in possession of approximately eight grams of marijuana, a spokesperson for the police told tempointeraktif.com on Tuesday.
The 47-year-old TM was reportedly arrested in front of a shop in Sanur after police found him carrying two small packets of marijuana.
"He was wearing blue shorts. The marijuana was in his pocket," spokesperson Sri Harmiti said.
TM, who had been in Bali for 3 days prior to the arrest, allegedly purchased the drugs for Rp 400,000 from an unknown passerby while walking along Sanur beach, Harmiti said.
Due to the offense, the accused faces a penalty of up to 10 years' imprisonment and Rp 500 million fine. (amr)
