A Columbus man was arrested Wednesday night on drug charges after Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a report of suspicious activity in the 600 block of Collier Street in Columbus. Judy Jackson, spokeswoman for the Sheriff’s Department, says that when deputies arrived shortly after 11:30 p.m., they called out to a man in the area. They say that man, 46-year-old Timothy Kristian David, picked up a bat and began walking toward them. After several commands to “drop the bat”, deputies say that David complied.

Deputies report that as they spoke with David, one of them noticed a syringe with an orange cap sticking out of David’s sweatshirt pocket. David was then taken into custody. A search allegedly revealed a plastic baggie from David’s front sweatshirt pocket containing a large amount of a white crystal-like substance believed to be methamphetamine. The baggie also contained three additional baggies with green leafy substances inside, which appeared to be marijuana.

After being taken to Columbus Regional Health for clearance, David was arrested on preliminary charges of:

Resisting Law Enforcement,
Possession of Methamphetamine,
Possession of Marijuana, and
Possess of a Legend Drug Injection Device.

Jackson says that David is being held without bond.
