Driving without working taillights led to the arrest of a Scipio man early this morning on drug-dealing charges.

Columbus police stopped the vehicle at about 1:10 a.m. this morning near U.S. 31 and County Road 50N. The officer allegedly noticed a glass smoking pipe between the seats of the vehicle, says Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus police. A search revealed marijuana, three bags of methamphetamine and digital scales, Harris says.

53-year-old Charlie R. Noblitt is facing preliminary charges of dealing methamphetamine, and possession of meth, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
