A Vicksburg man was in the Warren County Jail today on a grand larceny charge, records showed.
Johnnie N. Henderson, 23, 805 Walnut St., is accused of taking a riding lawn mower Thursday from a home in the 600 block of Jeffers Hollow Road, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.
After leaving the residence, Henderson drove through a Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol roadblock at U.S. 61 and Redwood Road, where he apparently thought he was recognized, Pace said.
Henderson then returned the lawn mower to the driveway of the home.
An interview with MHSP troopers, who gave a description of a vehicle carrying a riding lawn mower, led Warren County deputies to Henderson, Pace said.
Henderson was being held without bond pending an initial appearance in court.
