The charge follows a police search of a vehicle on the Orange Road about 9.15pm Sunday.
The driver returned a negative breath test but his demeanor led police to search the vehicle and its occupants.
Police seized 97.3 grams of substance believed to be methamphetamine and a small amount of green vegetable matter believed to be cannabis.
Crime manager with the Lachlan Local Area Command, Detective Inspector Brad Blanchard, said the methamphetamine would have a street value of about $100,000.
“The man was arrested and taken to Parkes Police Station where he was charged with one count of supply prohibited drug and two counts of possessing a prohibited drug,” he said. “He was placed on conditional bail to appear in Parkes court on January 5.”
