A Columbus man and woman were arrested Friday on charges of stolen property and possession of methamphetamine.
Sommer Porter, 23, was charged with two counts of possession of stolen property and one count of possession of methamphetamine.

The victim of the thefts called local pawn shops to advise them of stolen property.
Porter and Bryant are free on $10,000 bond.
