<p>DENPASAR, Indonesia (AP) — A man charged with importing drugs to Indonesia faces up to 15 years in prison under the country's tough drug laws in a trial that began Tuesday on the tourist island of Bali.</p>
<p>William Wallace Molyneaux V, a U.S. citizen, was arrested May 23 after he allegedly collected a package containing illegal drugs at a post office near Kuta beach, a popular tourist spot.</p>
<p>Prosecutor I Made Dipa Umbara said the arrest followed a tip that Molyneaux received a suspicious package by mail from London. Bali's Narcotic Agency seized the package and investigators reported they found 99 Adderall pills in seven silver medicine boxes containing 1.86 grams of amphetamine.</p>
<p>The 27-year-old resident of Brooksville, Florida, told authorities that he was addicted to amphetamines because he has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.</p>
<p>Molyneaux told authorities he bought Adderall online from the dark web and paid the equivalent of $250 in Monero, a cryptocurrency, while on vacation in Bali, Umbara said.</p>
<p>"ADHD medications, such as Adderall, consist of amphetamines and are therefore illegal in Indonesia, no exceptions," Umbara told the Denpasar District Court.</p>
<p>Molyneaux faces multiple charges including importing drugs, which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a fine up to 10 billion rupiah ($609,980).</p>
<p>A court document showed Molyneaux was transferred from a detention center to a rehabilitation center in Bali on July 9 after Molyneaux's U.S. doctor provided a written statement saying he suffers ADHD and needs treatment.</p>
<p>The panel of three judges adjourned the trial until Aug. 12, when the court will hear witness testimony.</p>
<p>Indonesia's strict drug laws include possible execution by a firing squad for convicted traffickers.</p>
<p>About 530 people are on death row in Indonesia, mostly for drug-related crimes, including 96 foreigners, according to Ministry of Immigration and Corrections data. Indonesia's most recent executions of an Indonesian citizen and three foreigners were carried out in July 2016.</p>
