The 38-year-old man was jailed for 102 days late last year after he pleaded guilty in Warrnambool Magistrates Court to trafficking methamphetamine, dealing with the suspected proceeds of crime and bail offences.
He was released on a two-year community correction order which involves 150 hours of community work, as well as treatment for drug abuse.
Then on Wednesday Portland police detectives attended the man's property to conduct a firearm prohibition order check.
A police spokesperson said the accused man was found with cash and nearly 28 grams, or an ounce, of the drug ice.
He was arrested, interviewed and subsequently charged with drug offences.
The man appeared briefly in Warrnambool Magistrates Court on Thursday, did not apply for bail and was remanded in custody.
He will appear in the same court on February 27.
