in theft from truck

A Vicksburg man was in the Warren County Jail Saturday night accused of stealing vehicle equipment from a Vicksburg resident.

Christopher Wallace, 30, 303 Hillside Drive, was arrested at 4:13 p.m. Friday by Vicksburg police after he was linked to the theft of a pipe truck rack valued at $780 and two dock plates valued at $1,000 that was reported earlier in the day from a home in the 900 block of Harrison Street, Chief Walter Armstrong said.

He said Wallace was charged with grand larceny and held without bond pending an initial appearance Monday.

Man walking on track

‘bumped’ by train

A Vicksburg man was taken to River Region Medical Center after he was hit by a freight train as he walked on Kansas City Southern tracks near Holly Street.

Richard Johnson, 20, was being treated in the emergency room late Saturday night, hours after he suffered a head injury when he was “bumped” by the westbound train, said Chief Walter Armstrong of the Vicksburg Police Department.

Johnson was walking with another man, who was not injured, but no identification was available.

No information on the train or its speed was available.
