A Columbus man wanted on four warrants for alleged auto theft was arrested Saturday evening after being found outside of a car on 16th Street.

Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus police, says that after seeing 40-year-old Keith J. Gilbert in the 2800 block of 16th Street, an officer checked for warrants and found that Gilbert was wanted.

As Gilbert was being searched before going to the jail, officers allegedly found a broken glass pipe with a powdery residue in his coat pocket. In addition to the warrants, he is now facing an additional charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.
