A Columbus man was arrested on drug charges early Tuesday morning after police allegedly found methamphetamine in his clothes. Lt. Matt Harris, Columbus Police Department spokesman, says that at approximately 12:30 a.m., Officer Drake Maddix stopped a vehicle near Ninth and Pearl streets. He says that none of the three people inside the vehicle had a valid driver’s license. Harris says that a CPD canine responded to the scene and detected the odor of narcotics inside the vehicle. Officers later found a jacket that contained a small amount of methamphetamine inside the vehicle where 29-year-old Justin D. Jacobs had been sitting. Jacobs was arrested and upon arriving at the jail, Bartholomew County corrections officers reported finding more meth that Jacobs had concealed in one of his socks.

Jacobs is facing preliminary charges of Trafficking with an Inmate and Possession of Methamphetamine, both felonies.
