COLUMBUS - Two men are behind bars after Columbus police nabbed them for drugs.

A CPD spokesman said officers were picking up one of the men on a probation detainer Monday when they found a baggie on him containing a small amount of suspected meth.

They said one of the other officers on scene stopped to talk to another man who was there and later found a pipe on him with trace amounts of suspected meth.

They arrested 22-year-old Robert Lester and 25-year-old Michael Veenendahl for possession of a controlled substance.

Both men have their bonds set at $5,000 and are scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 6.
