Columbus police were making an extra patrol Wednesday morning near Georgia Street and Hege Avenue when they came upon a wanted fugitive.

The extra patrol at a local apartment complex was underway at around 10 Wednesday morning, when an officer noticed a man in the back seat of a parked vehicle and recognized him as 26-year-old Michael A. Goodin. Goodin was wanted on two outstanding Bartholomew County warrants.

As Goodin was being searched on his way to the jail, officers allegedly found a syringe in his pants pocket, says Officer Alyson M. Rech, spokeswoman for the city police.

In addition to the two warrants, he is now facing a new preliminary charge of possession of a legend drug injection device.
