Columbus police say that they arrested a man on meth charges after he was found stumbling in the street, appeared to be hallucinating and then struggled with officers.

The fight started after police were called on a report of suspicious person at about 1:10 a.m. in the 2000 block of 25th Street. After officers found 33-year-old Kevin D. Dulong wandering in the street, he allegedly refused to get out of the roadway and poked an officer in the chest, says Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus police.

After a struggle, Dulong was arrested and during a search officers allegedly found methamphetamine in his pants pocket.

He is facing preliminary charges of battery on a public safety official, resisting law enforcement, and possession of methamphetamine.
