A Vicksburg man was in the Warren County Jail this morning accused of child molestation.
James H. Strickland, 62, 5236 Oak Ridge Road, was arrested at the Warren County Sheriff’s Office at 1:24 p.m. Wednesday after being questioned in the case reported by family members, Sheriff Martin Pace said. Strickland was charged with molesting a child younger than 14, Pace said. He was held without bond.
Separately, a Vicksburg man was released from the Warren County Jail Wednesday after being held for failing to register as a sex offender.
Christopher Ross, 45, 201 Berryman Road Apt. I68, surrendered at 3:15 p.m. Wednesday after he heard he was being sought in a routine check of sex offenders in the area, Pace said.
Pace said Ross, who later was released on a $5,000 bond, had failed to report a move out-of-state.
