A Columbus man was arrested on drunk driving charges after he tested at more than twice the legal alcohol limit.

Police say that they were called to the scene of a disturbance Saturday evening and stopped a car leaving the scene in the 2800 block of 17th Street at 11:45 p.m. that night. The driver, 30-year-old Adam W. Reynolds, was allegedly slurring his words and police noticed a strong scent of alcohol on his breath.

Field sobriety tests revealed a blood alcohol level of .168 percent. He was arrested on a preliminary charge of operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol level of .15 percent or higher.
