A Columbus man is accused of scratching a police officer in a Friday afternoon fight outside of a drug store.

28-year-old Christopher Murphy is facing charges of disorderly conduct, resisting law enforcement, intimidation towards a police officer and battery on a public safety officer.

According to police reports, a man was outside the Walgreens at 2400 Beam Road screaming at customers at about 4:45 p.m. Friday afternoon. When officers talked to Murphy, he allegedly threatened and attempted to fight with the police, says Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus Police Department. An officer received scratches and cuts to his arm during the fracas, Harris says.

Murphy was taken to Columbus Regional Hospital to be checked out before being taken to the Bartholomew County Jail.
