Two people were arrested on several drug related charges Friday afternoon after their vehicle was stopped for a minor traffic violation. Alyson Rech, Columbus Police Department spokeswoman, says that Officer Drake Maddix was patrolling the area of 19th Street and Cottage Avenue at around 4 p.m. when he saw a vehicle fail to use its turn signal. Maddix stopped the vehicle and spoke with the driver, 31-year-old Michael F. McCrory, of Elizabethtown. The officer learned that McCrory’s license was suspended, and that he had an outstanding warrant through Bartholomew County. During the stop, Maddix also learned that the passenger, 35-year-old Bernice A. Woodsen, of North Vernon, had an outstanding warrant out of Jennings County.

Both McCrory and Woodsen were arrested. During a search of the vehicle, police reported finding methamphetamine inside three small clear bags, a glass pipe that also contained methamphetamine, along with multiple syringes, marijuana, a digital scale, a burnt spoon, and numerous pills.
