Aussie arrested in Bali in fresh drug shock
A video from the Radar Bali news service appears to show the arrest taking place in the tourist hotspot of Bandung on Thursday.
The man and a female passenger were reportedly stopped by police for not wearing helmets while riding a motorcycle.
The video shows police officers inspecting a small bag, which appears to contain a white powder substance.
'Ah, no, no, no, no,' the man says when police discover the bag.
'Try it, it's panadol. Panadol brother,' the man shouts in the video.
'Test it, it's panadol!'
The police claim the man later confessed the powder was cocaine.
Local media reports the police said the bag had been sent for testing and the test showed the powder to be cocaine.
A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesman confirmed an Australian had been detained in Bali.
'We are in contact with local authorities and stand ready to provide consular assistance, to any Australian citizen, should they request it,' the spokesman said.
More to come.

Bond hearing reset for Miami Beach man charged in mother's murder after judge notes missing details
A bond court hearing for a Miami Beach man charged in the murder of his mother, whose body was found in a dumpster at his apartment building over the weekend, was rescheduled after a judge noticed details missing from his arrest report. Anthony Caruso, who has been charged with second-degree, appeared Monday morning before Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Mindy Glazer. During the hearing, it was revealed that Caruso was out on probation for three other cases, details of which were not discussed. During a reading of his arrest report, Glazer noted that important details were missing. "Am I missing something?" she asked the prosecutor. Glazer then questioned the reasoning behind the charges, saying there was nothing in the arrest report that indicated he had killed his mother. "Where does it say he killed his mother?" she said. "I agree judge. There's nothing indicating that says he killed his mother," Caruso's attorney replied. The prosecution then tried to call in the officers behind the arrest but couldn't reach them. Glazer then reset the hearing for the afternoon session. "Reset it in the afternoon for a probable cause hearing to see if he is in fact the person who killed his mother," she said. According to police, Caruso's mother, Elizabeth Caruso, arrived in Miami Beach from New Jersey mid-day on Saturday to check on her son, Anthony, who they said has a history of mental health issues. That night, according to police, they received a call from her son-in-law who said he had been unable to reach her for six hours. Officers were then sent to Caruso's apartment building on Washington Avenue to conduct a welfare check. According to the arrest report, when they arrived they found blood on the front door of his apartment and a smear of blood on the hallway floor that led to the trash room directly across from it. "Officers opened the door to the trash room and saw blood on the walls and floor surrounding the trash chute. Officers went to the first floor of the building where the bottom of the trash chute was located," according to the report. The door was locked, so Miami Beach Fire Rescue was called to help breach it. When officers entered the room, they found Elizabeth Caruso's body inside the dumpster, according to the arrest report. Elizabeth Caruso's neck was severely injured "nearly to the point of decapitation" and sustained several bone fractures in her arms, hands, face and head, according to the medical examiner's findings noted in the report. When officers tried to make contact with Caruso at his apartment, no one came to the door, according to police. At this time, Miami Beach police SWAT and Hostage Negotiation Teams were deployed to the apartment building, and a search warrant was obtained, police said. "When our officers tried to make contact with the subject, he barricaded himself," Christopher Best, a public information officer with Miami Beach police, said. While serving the warrant, SWAT officers commanded Caruso several times to surrender to no avail and tried using several tactics to get him to comply. However, they were unsuccessful. After an eight-hour standoff, officers used a K9 and Taser to take him into custody, according to police. Caruso, whose right arm was injured by the K9, was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital for treatment. Caruso was then taken to the Miami Beach Police Department for questioning. There he invoked his rights and did not provide a statement, according to the arrest report.
