He told police he had smoked the drug ice with friends on previous days.
During the traffic stop police discovered Wright's driver's licence had been suspended due to a fine default.
However, Wright had not been back to the address since the suspension was issued so he was issued with an on-the-spot suspension instead.
Wright did not appear in court where his driver's licence was disqualified for six months and he was fined $330.
