Police were looking for the man in relation to an incident a month earlier in which a person allegedly ran from a car being searched by police. The search allegedly uncovered an indictable quantity of the drug ice.
The driver of the car, a 22-year-old female, was questioned at the time, but eliminated from inquiries.
Police claim the man also made a false report to authorities about an armed robbery.
Investigations led police to a Bligh Street home about 12pm Monday, where a man was found under the house.
He was charged with supplying a prohibited drug, possession of a prohibited drug, false representation resulting in police investigation and an outstanding warrant for firearm offences.
He was granted bail in court on Tuesday to reappear on Wednesday.
