Columbus police say that a traffic stop last night turned into a drug arrest for a Nineveh man.

Police saw a vehicle driving without taillights at about 11:40 last night on U.S. 31 near Central Avenue. After stopping the vehicle, the officer allegedly noticed the smell of narcotics inside the vehicle and saw methamphetamine in the center console.

32 year old Kyle L. Stewart was arrested and is facing preliminary charges of possession of methamphetamine and maintaining a common nuisance. Two other people in the vehicle were released.
