Columbus police arrested a driver on Interstate 65 Sunday morning on drug, weapons and drunk driving charges after he was seen swerving on the highway.

Police stopped 27-year-old Jacob A. Golob of Indianapolis near the 70 mile marker and an officer smelled marijuana inside the vehicle says Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the police department. A search of the car allegedly revealed a gun that Golob did not have a permit for and his blood-alcohol level was found to be .124 percent.

He was arrested on preliminary charges of carrying a firearm without a license, possession of drug paraphernalia and marijuana, and operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol level between .08 and .14 percent.
