The 68-year-old is not charged with fraud but was arrested earlier this month by Armidale detectives during a raid on an Armidale motel room.

Magistrate Vivien Swain adjourned the case until May to allow a brief of evidence into the case to be prepared.
Hudson's bail was continued during the court proceedings.
As part of his bail conditions, 68-year-old Hudson is to report to police in Armidale three times-a-week; live in Uralla; and must not contact or go near one person named in court documents.
Armidale detectives allege he is involved in defrauding several people of close to $225,000.
The Express previously revealed detectives had already seized more than $8000 in cash as well as documents they suspect are connected to the fraud probe in raids on motel rooms and cars in Armidale on March 5 and Uralla on February 26.
New England police said the investigation had been launched in February into reports of fraud in the Armidale area.
