A Vicksburg man was in the Warren County Jail this morning accused of attempted carjacking, Sheriff Martin Pace said.

Travis James Flowers, 23, 1804 Heather Drive, is accused of trying to drag a woman from her car on Old Jackson Road around 11 a.m. Wednesday.

Flowers was riding with a male relative in a 1998 Ford Crown Victoria when they began arguing, Pace said. The relative, who was driving, stopped the car and Flowers got out, ran to the car behind them and tried to pull the driver out. But she was wearing a seatbelt, Pace said, and Flowers couldn’t budge her. The male relative jumped out of the Crown Vic, the sheriff said, and tried to help the woman. Flowers then tried to enter the woman’s car again, through the passenger door, but it was locked, Pace said.

Flowers fled on foot, and deputies arrested him on his home street, Heather Drive, about an hour later. He was being held without bond pending an initial court hearing.
