Coffin Cheaters bikie Jon Peter Humes granted bail after allegedly hiding 160g of meth in his underwear

A Coffin Cheaters bikie who was allegedly caught trying to hide methamphetamine in his underwear has been granted bail. Jon Peter Humes, 33, appeared in Bunbury Magistrate’s Court via videolink from Bunbury Regional Prison on Monday charged with possessing 160g of methamphetamine with intent to sell or supply, possessing stolen or unlawfully obtained property, and possessing a prohibited weapon. Police said Mr Humes was arrested on Thursday after he was allegedly stopped by officers from the WA National Anti-Gangs Squad in Bunbury. A search of his hire car allegedly uncovered $15,030 of cash inside the centre console and a baton. When officers searched Mr Humes, it was alleged they found the meth in his underwear and a further $1,660 cash in his wallet. It is understood if sold at street level, the meth seized could have been been used by up to 1,600 people in WA. After his arrest, a search of Mr Humes’ Kenwick home allegedly uncovered a further $23,800 cash, an electronic cash counter, 28g of cannabis, drug gear, an allegedly stolen motorcycle, and Coffin Cheaters Outlaw Motorcycle Gang clothing. Despite police alleging the case against Mr Humes was strong and likely to result in a lengthy jail term if convicted, Mr Humes was yesterday granted bail with various conditions including a $100,000 surety and reporting to Cannington Police Station three times per week. Mr Humes was also barred from Perth Airport, ordered to surrender his passport and to not contact an alleged co-accused. Although the charges were likely to return to Bunbury in the future, Mr Humes is next due to appear in Perth Magistrate’s Court on August 2. His arrest comes as police continue to crack down on WA bikies in the wake of the assassination of Rebels boss Nick Martin. Martin was shot dead by an alleged sniper while watching drag races alongside family and friends at Perth Motorplex on December 12. His death led to dozens of arrests of gang members from several gangs and significant seizures of weapons, drugs and stolen property. Detectives made a breakthrough in the hunt for the alleged sniper in March when they arrested and charged a former soldier with murdering Martin.
