Thomas Michael Gould is being held in Cessnock Correctional Centre and waived his right to a contested committal hearing in Tamworth Local Court on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old has been in custody since he was arrested when police surrounded the Peel River in Tamworth in mid-August.
He is accused of supplying methylamphetamine between 10am on May 24 and 12.29pm on May 26 in Tamworth.
“That matter is to proceed by way of waiver of committal [for trial],” solicitor Garry Johnston told the court.
The court was told a back-up charge of possessing the same amount of methylamphetamine will be dealt with in the district court after the trial, while a charge of possessing 1g of cannabis leaf was withdrawn.
Magistrate Roger Prowse committed Gould for trial, with a date expected next year.
He remains bail refused.
