COLUMBUS, Ind. — Columbus police officers arrested a local man on felony drug charges after his vehicle was stopped for traffic violation on Thursday afternoon.
Shortly before 5 p.m. Thursday, CPD officers stopped a vehicle driven by Brian A. Jones, 45, of Columbus for a minor traffic violation near Morningside Drive and Nolting Street, said Lt. Matt Harris, Columbus Police Department.
