Columbus police arrested a fugitive after recognizing him while he was driving a car yesterday afternoon on Central Avenue.

Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the police department, says officers arrested 31-year-old Jake A. Pugsley at just before 2 p.m. After Pugsley was in handcuffs officers allegedly also noticed syringes in his vehicle, some of which allegedly contained heroin residue.

In addition to the original Jefferson County Warrant, Pugsley is now facing preliminary charges of possession or heroin, a legend drug injection device and drug paraphernalia.
