By Malai FadleyRizal

A permanent resident was released on bail of $2,000 or one local surety after he pleaded not guilty to two charges under the Misuse of Drugs Act in the Magistrate's Court yesterday.

Senior Magistrate Radin Safiee heard that Armie bin Abdullah was arrested by officers from the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) with another man on suspicion of carrying out illegal drug activities at Kg Bolkiah 'A' in Kg Ayer.

NCB Prosecuting officer Pg Rodziah told the court that when he was apprehended, the suspect surrendered an apparatus believed to be used to administer controlled drugs.

She added that Armie's urine sample was taken and analysed while in custody and it tested positive for 'Ice'.

However he claimed trial yesterday to the two charges against him.

A date for further mention was set on December 3.
