COLUMBUS, Ind. (WISH) – A Columbus traffic stop Thursday afternoon led to a drug arrest, according to the Columbus Police Department.
CPD says a vehicle, driven by 32-year-old Jessica Comstock, was pulled over in the 600 block of California Street at approximately 3:15 p.m. for being falsely registered.
