A Columbus man was arrested over the weekend after being revived from a drug overdose, according to Columbus officers.

Police were called to a reported overdose in a home in the 1300 block of Cottage Avenue at about 8:45 p.m. Sunday. They found 29-year-old Michael A. Dunham unconscious and he was breathing very shallow. Officers gave Dunham two doses of Narcan to revive him, but officers also found out that Dunham was wanted on a Bartholomew County warrant.
While searching him, they allegedly found a plastic bag with marijuana in his pants pocket.

After being taken to Columbus Regional Hospital for treatment, he was arrested on preliminary charges of possession of marijuana along with the outstanding warrants.
