The teenager from Morisset Park, New South Wales tried in Bali, Indonesia for marijuana possession returns home Monday after serving two months in detention.

Hiding his face with a balaclava mask, the 14-year-old boy was taken to the Kerobokan jail for his fingerprinting, mug shot and registration after ending his two-month sentence at the Jimbaran immigration detention centre Sunday. Prison governor Siswanto, who witnessed his deportation processing, told the boy not to buy marijuana again and stop his habit.

The boy thanked lead prosecutor I Gede Gusti Putu Atmaja for allowing him to serve his sentence without actually spending time in a prison.

He was ‘‘very grateful'' said Atmaja, according to the Northern Daily Leader.

The boy and his father were then driven to Denpasar's Ngurah Rai airport to take the evening flight to Sydney.

The boy spent two months at the Denpasar police station and later at the Jimbaran immigration detention centre while his trial went on. He was detained on Oct. 4 after being caught buying 3.6 grams of marijuana for $25 in Kuta Beach.

The boy's lawyer, Muhammad Rifan, described his client as happy because he is finally meeting his family and friends in Lake Macquarie. Rifan hopes that the boy's experience will serve as a warning to other Australians not to commit the same crime.

Rifan convinced the court not to send the boy to the Kerobokan jail as he admitted his addiction to marijuana.
