Subscriber only A man facing a serious cocaine supply charge has been remanded in custody after asking for bail to attend rehab. Jared Nicholas Bale, 45, was arrested on October 28 last year and charged with numerous drug supply and possession offences. The most serious of those is a charge of knowingly taking part in the supply of a commercial quantity of cocaine. Police will allege they found a suitcase containing about 325g of the drug in a shed which Mr Bale had access to. His other charges relate to the possession and supply of various drugs. Defence solicitor John Weller applied for his client to be released on bail to attend rehabilitation when the case went before Byron Bay Local Court on Monday.
