Columbus police say that a wanted man was arrested after allegedly giving police a fake name.

Officers were called to a hotel on Jonathan Moore Pike at about 9 a.m. Tuesday morning on a report of a suspicious man walking in the area. The man originally gave police a fake name, but he was identified as 27-year-old Nathan F. Ingram, who was wanted on three Bartholomew County warrants, according to police reports.

While searching him before taking him to jail, police allegedly found a syringe and a glass smoking pipe in his pants pockets. In addition to the warrants, he was arrested on preliminary charges of possession of a legend drug injection device and paraphernalia.
