Vicksburg Police are searching for two men wanted for an attempted armed robbery and assault that took place in the 1400 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. on Saturday afternoon, officer Milton Moore said.

The victim reported being approached by two men at 2:45 p.m. while walking down MLK. He said the men had him at gunpoint and struck him in the head after refusing to surrender his possessions. Moore said the victim was taken to River Region Medical Center.

A condition report was unavailable Saturday evening. No suspects have been identified.

Utica man cited after wrecking car

A Utica man was cited for no license and no insurance following a single car wreck in the 2100 block of Fisher Ferry Road Friday afternoon, said Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace.

A 1997 Ford Thunderbird driven by Joseph Carmoney, 18, 2176 Fisher Ferry Road, was traveling north when it veered off the roadway and struck a tree at approximately 4:30 p.m., said Pace. With damage to the vehicle and a flat tire, Carmoney drove the car to the nearby Super Junior convenience store at Fisher Ferry and Nailor roads where deputies responded to the call.

Camoney was taken to River Region Medical Center for an injury to his arm, said Pace, while the lone passenger, his mother, 45-year-old Betty M. Carmoney, was uninjured. A River Region spokesman said Carmoney left the hospital without receiving treatment. Pace said the cause of the wreck was unknown.

The wreck was one of 10 reported in Warren County on Friday, said Pace, and the only one with reported injuries.

Slick roads and steady showers may have contributed to the wrecks. Vicksburg received 1.98 inches of rain on Friday, bringing the monthly total to 14.06 inches — more than three times the monthly average of 3.8 inches.
