Aussie gets 3-month drug sentence in Bali

An Australian DJ arrested in Bali has been sentenced to three months jail for being an addict in possession of cocaine.

Forty-one year-old Nicholas Bernard Taylor from Byron Bay was arrested in June at a private party in Bali.

Indonesian police considered charging Mr Taylor with possessing 0.3 grams of cocaine, but when he claimed to be a drug addict prosecutors sought the lesser charge of drug use, which carries a maximum penalty of six months prison.

Judges at Denpasar District Court today sentenced Taylor, who was a former Sydney DJ, to three months and 10 days in jail.

He is expected to be released on the 21st of September.
