‘It will be alleged an amount of a substance believed to be methylamphetamine was located in his clothes,’ the spokesman said.

The man was also charged in relation to an incident in Oakford on November 17.

The accused went to a house allegedly armed with a gun, kicked the door and threw a lump of concrete at it.

‘It will be further alleged when Police arrived, responding to an emergency call, the accused got back into a vehicle and rammed the police vehicle,’ the spokesman said.

‘The vehicle was pursued but the pursuit was aborted for safety reasons.’

He had a bedside hearing on November 27 and was remanded in custody. He is due to appear at Perth Magistrates Court on December 11.
