Two Columbus residents arrested after traffic stop
Two people were arrested on several charges during a traffic stop Monday afternoon. Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus Police Department, says that at approximately 1 p.m., Officer Ivan Shultz stopped a vehicle in the 1800 block of Hawcreek Avenue for a minor violation. Shultz spoke with the driver, 51-year-old William K. Long, of Columbus, and determined that he had a warrant for his arrest. Officers also spoke Longs passenger, 40-year-old Christina S. Greathouse, of Columbus, and determined that she had two local warrants for her arrest.
While searching Greathouse, officers allegedly located drug paraphernalia containing methamphetamine in one of her pants pockets. Police say that a search of Greathouses purse yielded additional narcotics and drug paraphernalia. The officers also reported finding a pack of cigarettes containing marijuana where Greathouse was seated in the car.
Along with the outstanding warrants, Greathouse is facing additional preliminary charges of Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
