Neil Parry was arrested at Darwin airport and accused of stuffing drugs into bottles of shampoo. Mr. Parry spent three days in jail, but has now received $100,000 in compensation. Testing of the bottles of Pantene shampoo and conditioner showed they actually contained Pantene shampoo and conditioner, nothing more. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.
