Minutes after a property owner interrupted a burglary in the 1000 block of Bowman Street Tuesday morning, two Vicksburg men were charged with attempted grand larceny.

Eddie Walls III, 49, 501 Reed St., and Earnest Rickey Dotson Jr., 49, 1010 Speed St., were accused of trying to take a 14-foot trailer valued at $1,000 at about 7:53 a.m., Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.

The property owner told police the two men fled in a 1991 Chevrolet van, Stewart said. At 8:15 that morning, patrolmen stopped them at Lake and Dewitt streets.

Both were released from the Warren County Jail Tuesday evening, each on a $5,000 bond.

California fugitive arrested in city

A man was in the Warren County Jail today on a California warrant for violating his probation, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.

The U.S. Marshals Office informed county officials that Conti Tillis Sr., 35, Richmond, Calif., was in Vicksburg moving from motel to motel, Pace said.

Deputies picked up Tillis at a motel on East Clay Street without incident at 11:40 a.m. Tuesday, Pace said.

He was being held without bond pending his extradition to California.

Inmate transferred from Hinds to Warren

A Vicksburg man was arrested Tuesday at a Hinds County jail and brought to the Warren County Jail on a warrant issued after he was indicted by a grand jury in May.

The district attorney had allowed Rodney Turner, 36, 3120 S. Frontage Road, to serve out his term in Hinds on an unrelated charge before he was picked up on a Warren County charge of possession of a controlled substance, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.

Turner was in jail today without bond pending his arraignment, Pace said.
