A report of a possible drunk driver at a gas station on Columbus’ west side led to the arrest of a Seymour man on drug charges Friday night. Lt. Matt Harris, Columbus Police Department spokesman, says that officers were called to the 2300 block of Jonathan Moore Pike at 11:10 p.m. When they got there, officers reported finding 28-year-old Scot A. Barker, Jr., who showed signs of being under the influence of drugs. During the investigation, officers reportedly saw heroin and drug paraphernalia inside Barker’s vehicle.

When Barker was taken into custody officers reported finding two small bags of methamphetamine and a syringe inside of his coat. Barker is facing preliminary charges of Possession of Heroin, Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of a Legend Drug Injection Device and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

Columbus Police are thanking the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department for its help with this investigation.
