A local man who was reportedly intoxicated at a restaurant drive-thru was arrested by Columbus police early Friday morning.

Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus Police Department, says that at approximately 2:45 a.m., officers located a possible impaired driver at the drive through at a fast food restaurant in the 1600 block of North National Road. While speaking with 32-year-old Richard K. Battin, of Columbus, officers noted that Battin’s speech was slurred and the strong odor of alcohol was coming from the vehicle.

Battin allegedly failed several field sobriety tests in the parking lot and later provided a breath sample of .179 percent, more than twice the legal limit. Battin was arrested on a preliminary charge of Operating a Motor Vehicle with a BAC of .15 Percent or Greater.
