Police arrest local man on multiple charges after disturbance

Columbus police arrested a local man on multiple charges after being sent to a disturbance in the 1000 block of Phoenix Court.

Police went to a home there at 11:55 p.m. Saturday and after separating the feuding parties. They later went to another disturbance in the area of Eighth and Cottage Avenue about a disturbance involving the same people, said Lt. Matt Harris, Columbus Police Department spokesman.

When officers arrived, they saw Tobias T. Jenkins, 20, Columbus, running towards them and screaming profanities, Harris said. The officers attempted to restrain Jenkins, but he attempted to pull away from him, Harri said.

Jenkins was placed under arrest, and while searching him, officers detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath, Harris said.

Jenkins was arrested on preliminary charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, illegal consumption and resisting law enforcement.
