A 21-year-old Columbus man is back in jail after failing to return from his work release program, then allegedly getting drunk and fighting with police.

Police arrested Damarcis C. Scrogham at about 5:45 a.m. Wednesday morning after receiving a report of a man yelling and stumbling in the street near 19th and Union. Police say that Scrogham refused to obey police orders, would not get into the police car and struck an officer.

He is facing preliminary charges of public intoxication, resisting law enforcement, battery on a law enforcement officer and disorderly conduct. He has a hold that is keeping him in jail because of the work-release problem earlier this week.
