Hunt cocaine charge dropped: lawyer

Rugby union player Karmichael Hunt will not be prosecuted with cocaine possession after police found a lack of evidence, his lawyer says.

Police had alleged Hunt was found is in possession of cocaine and alprazolam - better known as Xanax - during a search in a car park in the inner-Brisbane suburb of Fortitude Valley on December 30.

The charge was dropped on Friday following negotiations between prosecutors and Hunt's lawyer, Adam Magill.

"It was determined that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute him with respect to the cocaine charge," Mr Magill told AAP.

"(Hunt) is obviously very relieved, he can move ahead now and focus on his training."

The 31-year-old appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday charged with two counts of possessing dangerous drugs - one of them being the cocaine charge - and contravening a police direction.

He was immediately stood down from all team-related duties with the Reds when the December 30 incident came to light and has been training on his own since.

The contravening a police direction charge alleges Hunt failed to provide identification to police at Fortitude Valley police station on January 6.

The case is adjourned until February 19.
