‘It's Panadol': Australian man arrested in Bali for alleged cocaine possession
An Australian man in Bali has been arrested for alleged cocaine possession, with video footage of him claiming the substance is Panadol widely shared on social media. Lismore man Nelson Philip James was detained by Indonesian police on Thursday after he was allegedly found with cocaine during a traffic stop at Badung. The 32-year-old Australian man was travelling with a female companion when he was stopped by police for reportedly not wearing helmets while riding a motorcycle. A video of the Australian tourist originally published by local outlet Radar Bali has gone viral on social media, depicting the moment James was arrested at Badung. The clip shows police officers inspecting a small bag, which appears to contain a white powder substance. The NSW man can be seen telling police officers the substance was 'Panadol'. 'No, no, no, no,' he said. 'Try it, it's Panadol. Test it, it's Panadol.'
