A Jackson woman and a Pearl man were in the Warren County Jail after being arrested by sheriff’s deputies Friday morning at the Dixiana Motel, 4041 Washington St., in the theft of a four-wheeler reported stolen Wednesday.

Michael Roy Axsom, 36, address unknown, was charged with grand larceny and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, Sheriff Martin Pace said. In addition, two detainers were placed against Axsom for charges pending in other jurisdictions.

Echo Mayfield, 25, 3544 Davis Road, was charged with grand larceny.

Deputies had a description of the pair’s vehicle, provided after the theft of the four-wheeler, and traced it to Axsom and Mayfield at the motel. The vehicle had been reported stolen in Hattiesburg, Pace said. Authorities there plan to charge Axsom with auto theft.A records check also showed Axsom is wanted by authorities in Texas.

When arrested, Axsom had a .380-caliber handgun with him in the motel room, Pace said.

Both Mayfield and Axsom were being held without bond. Axsom’s detainers will prevent him from being released on bond, and Mayfield is awaiting an initial hearing.
