CRIME * From staff reports
Three Vicksburg men were arrested Tuesday morning and charged with attacking and robbing a person in the parking lot of a county apartment complex.
Arrested were Samuel Darnell, 20, 3946 Mississippi 27; David Hasty, 19, 429 U.S. 80 Apt. 28; and Daniel McClellan, 18, 1951 U.S. 80. They were picked up at 7:34 at the Dollar General on Mississippi 27 and charged with strong armed robbery.
Each had a bond set at $15,000. Darnell and McClellan posted bond and were released from the Warren County Jail.
Deputy Chief Jay McKenzie said the charges stem from a report that the Warren County Sheriff’s Department received about 1 1/2 hours earlier. A man reported that he was beat up and robbed in the parking lot of an apartment complex at 629 U.S. 80.
McKenzie said the victim did not go to the hospital.

A Vicksburg man was arrested Tuesday night and charged with drug possession.
Leon Felix, 20, 1303 Wood St., was picked up at East Avenue and Ford Street and charged with possession of cocaine, Vicksburg Police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.
Felix also was on probation, so he was being held for the Mississippi Department of Corrections.
Felix was in the Issaquena County Jail this morning without bond.
