South Australian man Troy Smith allowed to leave Indonesia months after smuggling drugs into Bali

A South Australian man busted with meth in Bali has departed Indonesia after completing a court-designated rehabilitation program.

More than 3g of meth was found by police when they raided the Kuta hotel room of Port Lincoln father-of-two Troy Smith in April.

He was convicted of drug possession in July and Smith, whose lawyers had argued was an addict, was ordered to spend six months in an Indonesian rehabilitation facility.

“He deeply regrets his poor decisions and offers sincere apologies to the Indonesian and Australian communities and his family, friends and partner,” a statement issued on his behalf said.
