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.
