Wanted man arrested on drug charges

A wanted person was arrested on several drug related charges after he was seen on a moped, Columbus police said.

CPD officers saw Shawn R. Davis, 56, of Westfield, sitting on a moped in the 1700 block of Central Avenue at about 2:35 p.m. Friday. When officers approached Davis, he gave a false identification, police said. The officers confirmed Davis’ identity a short time later and determined that he had two felony warrants for his arrest out of Hamilton County.

  • Hendricks County warrants for dealing and possession of methamphetamine.
  • Level 4 felony possession of greater than 10 grams of methamphetamine.
  • Level 6 felony possession of a legend drug injection device.
