Two Columbus teens were arrested after a shot was fired in a mobile home park early Friday morning.
According to the Columbus Police Department, officers were called to Camden Drive at about 12:30 a.m. Friday after a neighbor heard a gunshot. Police arrived and soon found a loud argument inside a mobile home in the 2800 block of Scotland Drive. Outside, they discovered a spent shell casing.
Officers contacted a resident, 18-year-old Kadin Atkins and when police entered the home they reported a strong odor of marijuana inside. Police received a search warrant and a search revealed two handguns, a rifle, bags of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, scales, a money-counting machine as well as nearly $10,000 in cash.
Atkins and another resident 19-year-old Blaine A. Humphrey were both arrested.
