After a weekend in jail, Quinton Williams was charged by Vicksburg police today with two counts of kidnapping, two counts of armed robbery, two counts of felony possession of a firearm and one count of carjacking.

He was not charged with two residential break-ins and two rapes of elderly widows that occurred in the same Bazinsky Road area as the robberies, with police continuing to emphasize they have no specific suspect in those attacks, one two years ago and one Sept. 21.

The first of the two armed robberies with which Williams, 20, of 3544 Wisconsin Ave., was charged today occurred Feb. 9 in the 200 block of Bazinsky Road. The second took place March 31 in the 400 block of Lake Hill Drive. The victim of that robbery was walking to her car when Williams allegedly approached her, robbed her and forced her to drive him to the 400 block of Bazinsky Road, Vicksburg Police Lt. Robert Stewart said. The woman’s 3-year-old child was in the back seat.

Police canvassed the neighborhood generally north of the large Army engineering and research campus, Waterways Experiment Station, after a 91-year-old woman was beaten and raped in her home.

Although she survived that attack and assisted police with a description of her assailant, she has since died. No arrests were made.

In the Sept. 21 attack, the 86-year-old victim was at her residence about two blocks from the previous crime scene when she heard someone in the home during the night. The assault followed and the victim, initally released from River Region Medical Center, was readmitted the next day after sustaining a heart attack.

“We’re still following leads in that investigation,” Stewart said.

“We have not officially named anyone as a suspect in that case as of now” he said.

Vicksburg police and the Warren County Sheriff’s Department had been working together since early last week to find and arrest Williams, who was wanted by the Mississippi Department of Corrections for violation of his probation on an auto burglary conviction.

The three-day search ended Thursday when he was found by the two agencies at 10:30 p.m., hiding in a garbage bag under a house on Mount Alban Road, which was believed to be the residence of Williams’ girlfriend.

He was taken to jail and held over the weekend, with authorities saying they would decide what charges he would face today. This morning, he was taken from jail to the police department, informed he was being charged with the seven robbery-related felonies and then returned to jail with no bond set.

Authorities ask that anyone with information on the assaults contact them at the Vicksburg Police Department or Warren County Sheriff’s Department.
