Troy Smith: Australian dad allegedly caught with meth in Bali to be reunited with his new wife – as ‘pain and suffering’ he has caused his loved ones is revealed

An Australian father allegedly caught with meth in Bali will be reunited with his wife after being transferred from prison to rehab. The ‘pain and suffering’ he caused his loved ones is revealed.

Troy Smith, from Port Lincoln in South Australia, was allegedly caught with 3.19 grams of methamphetamine at the Champlung Mas Hotel in Legian, Bali, on April 30.

Police are said to have found another 0.4 grams of the drug bought in Bali, along with a hookah and a lighter.

Smith, 49, was initially charged with drug possession, which carries a maximum sentence of 12 years, but was later charged with drug trafficking.

He had been languishing in a shared prison cell with 12 other inmates at a notorious prison, but was released to a rehabilitation center on Wednesday evening.

Now it has been revealed that his new wife Tracy Ijusa may visit him in rehab.

The couple, who met on Tinder, got married in December in her hometown of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.

“Troy is coming to terms with his addiction and has begun the difficult journey to recovery,” said John McLeod, director of the counseling firm that Smith’s family hired.

‘He is now free of drugs and alcohol, and the sobering reflection of the pain and suffering he has caused his loved ones over the years is real and confronting.

“Tracy will be able to visit Troy under the rehabilitation center’s policies. No special arrangements have been made.”

Mr. McLeod, a high-profile fixer who runs Tora Solutions, helped free Schapelle Corby from Kerobokan prison in 2014 after being charged with drug trafficking.

It was reported that Mr Smith struggled in the overcrowded concrete cell at police headquarters in Denpasar with only a bucket to use as a toilet.

Mr Smith’s lawyer, Edward Pangkahili, said Mr Smith had cried in prison and was very stressed after the charges. The advertiser reported.

Mr. Smith’s lawyers said the drug package was allegedly sent to him by a friend as a thank you for his help with a car purchase, and that Mr. Smith did not know what was inside.

At a press conference on Monday, one of Mr Smith’s lawyers, Sienny Karmana, claimed his client had tried to evade arrest “because he was scared”, with police firing two warning shots into the air before he was apprehended.

“The police said he tried to run away, but the police caught him back. “They fired shots in the air, he was surprised and then fell down and the police caught him,” she said.

Mr. Smith struggled with alcoholism earlier in his life, which led to his children cutting off contact with him and his marriage to the breakdown.

Just a few weeks ago, he was enjoying a world-traveling life as a newlywed after tying the knot with his wife.

“I’ve had an interesting last 12 years,” Smith said in a video.

‘Chronic alcoholic, hit rock bottom. You couldn’t have drank more than me.

‘I saw no way out and honestly I probably should have died. Children don’t talk to me anymore.

‘But then in the most bizarre circumstances during a Tinder meeting I met this girl in Nairobi and I’ve been in Bali ever since.

‘Now I love life. This girl gives me the motivation to do anything. She is my life now.”
