A Columbus man was arrested Thursday night on a number of felony charges. Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus Police Department, says that at 6:10 p.m., officers saw 43-year-old Nathan M. Burns riding a bicycle near 15th Street and Chestnut Street. He says that Burns was a suspect in a domestic violence incident that occurred in Columbus earlier in the evening.

Harris says that after Burns was placed in handcuffs, he became verbally abusive towards officers and refused to walk under his own power. Officers eventually used a Taser to get Burns under control and into a patrol car. Burns was taken to Columbus Regional Health before being booked in the Bartholomew County Jail on a 48 hour hold. He is facing preliminary charges of:

Strangulation (Level 6 Felony)
Domestic Battery (Level 6 Felony)
Criminal Confinement (Level 6 Felony)
Intimidation-Threats to Commit Forcible Felony (Level 6 Felony)
Resisting Law Enforcement (Class A Misdemeanor)
