A traffic stop at Bazinsky Road and Lake Hill Drive Monday night led to a Vicksburg man being charged with possession of a stolen firearm.

At 8:49 p.m., Clyde Mazie, 19, 3505 N. Washington St., was stopped by Vicksburg patrolmen for running a stop sign and arrested for having a .44-caliber Rossi handgun, which had been reported stolen on Jan. 29 from a 1994 Chevrolet Suburban in the 500 block of Adams Street, police Sgt. Sandra Williams said.

Mazie was at police headquarters this morning, Williams said. He is expected to be jailed without bond because he was already out on bond on seven counts of business burglary throughout the city last year. 

On March 3, he was accused of:

• One break-in at Zips gas station, 887 U.S. 61 North, April 18;

• Two, on March 21 and April 9, at Honeyz, Scentz & Fashionz, 3427 Halls Ferry Road;

• One at Jubilee Smoke Break, 4749 U.S. 61 South, April 20;

• One at Chevron gas station, 581 Fisher Ferry Road, April 10;

• One at Dollar General, 4000 U.S. 61 South, April 20;

• One at Port Mart Texaco, 1775 N. Washington St., April 20.

Also charged in last year’s business burglaries after being returned to Vicksburg from Columbus, Ohio, were Mazie’s brother, Jeremy Mazie, 21, 902 Blossom Lane, on Nov. 9; and Derrick Williams, 30, of the same address, on Dec. 1.

Tameka Gross, 30, 156 Elizabeth Circle, was arrested on April 29 and charged with receiving stolen property. She was released on bond from the Warren County Jail.

Jeremy Mazie, charged with four counts of business burglary, and Williams, held on five counts, remained in the jail.
