Bartholomew County deputies arrested a driver and a bystander in an incident Saturday night in Columbus.

Deputies report that they stopped a vehicle in the 1800 block of 10th Street at about 9:37 p.m. Saturday night and found the driver was wanted on a warrant. A search revealed drugs and 52 year old Paul Comstock was arrested on charges including obstruction of justice, resisting law enforcement and possessing methamphetamine, a look-alike substance, paraphernalia and legend drug injection devices.

But a woman who lives in the block and was watching the arrest was also found to be wanted on a warrant. 34-year-old Loretta Reed of Columbus was arrested.
