A Columbus teenager was arrested Friday on gun and drug charges.

Lt. Matt Harris, Columbus Police Department spokesman, says that officers arrested 19-year-old Skye N. Bailey after he was allegedly found passed out in a vehicle with a handgun on his lap. At approximately 1:50 p.m., Officers Ben Quesenbery and Eric Kapczynski responded to a parking lot in the 2000 block of Merchants Mile in regards to two suspicious men in a vehicle. Harris says that when the officers arrived they found Bailey inside the vehicle. Officers reportedly took the handgun and arrested Bailey after waking him up. A second person in the vehicle was taken into custody but later released. Harris adds that police reported also finding a small amount of methamphetamine and Xanax in the vehicle.

Bailey was arrested on preliminary charges of Carrying a Handgun Without a Permit, Possession of a Controlled Substance and Possession of Methamphetamine.
