Danny Law appeared in Tamworth Local Court last week facing 13 drug and weapons charges after he was arrested in Gunnedah in June.
Police allege Law was dealing drugs in the Gunnedah area, after a raid on his Gunnedah home allegedly uncovered 50 ecstasy tablets in a safe.
During the raid, officers also allegedly discovered a weapons cache, including a firearm, taser and a slingshot.
Law is yet to enter a plea of supplying ecstasy, dealing cannabis, possessing steroids, three counts of possessing prohibited drugs, and housing goods suspected of being stolen.
Law’s solicitor, Fiona Hadlington, said she had been negotiating the charges with the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), but there was more evidence to come.
“There is some further evidence that needs to be served, like telephone intercepts,” she said.
“That is the thing stopping the matter from being committed for sentence today.
“I need time.”
DPP solicitor Fiona Irwin said the evidence was crucial to the case and could change the pleas.
Law has already pleaded guilty to possessing an unregistered firearm, namely an air rifle, not keeping the firearm safely, unauthorised person fail to surrender a firearm, possessing a firearm or barrel with an altered ID, possessing an unauthorised firearm and possessing a prohibited weapon.
Law, who remains on bail, also had his reporting and curfew conditions relaxed.
The case will return to court in September.
