A man who was behaving erratically and speaking unclearly Sunday morning in Columbus was arrested on charges including residential entry, police say.

The incident unfolded at about 9:30 a.m. Sunday when officers found a man on the back porch of a home in the 2100 block of Hiker Trace who was creating a disturbance. Officer Justin Black says that 37-year-old Benjamin Leonard is believed to have entered a home in the 2100 block of Westline Drive before police were called to the nearby disturbance.

He was also allegedly found to have a syringe and prescription pills on him when he was arrested, Black said.

Leonard is facing preliminary charges of residential entry, possession of a syringe, possession of a controlled substance and public intoxication.
