A Vicksburg man was in the Warren County Jail Saturday on drug charges, Sheriff Martin Pace said.

Michael Parker, 26, 40 Ironwood Drive, was arrested by deputies at the Confederate Ridge Apartments, 780 U.S. 61 North, at 3:32 p.m. and charged with possession of crack cocaine, Pace said.

The charges date to an October traffic stop, at which time Parker was found to be in possession of a substance deputies believed to be crack cocaine, Pace said.

The substance was sent for analysis to the Mississippi Crime Lab, and investigators recently received a report confirming it was the drug, said the sheriff.

A warrant was then issued for Parker, who was arrested when deputies responded to an unrelated altercation at the apartment complex and saw him there watching the goings-on.

Parker was being held without bond pending an initial hearing Monday, Pace said.

Three people injured in two county wrecks

Two wrecks reported Friday night sent three people to River Region Medical Center, said Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace.

At 9:40 p.m., David Matthew Cochran, 20, 20 Post Oak Drive, was driving a 1997 Chevrolet pickup on Ring Road near Jeff Davis Road when he lost control of truck and it overturned, Pace said.

At 9:45 p.m., April Kelly, 30, 72 Archie Drive, was westbound on Warriors Trail near Newmans Road when an animal ran in front of her car, Pace said.

The vehicle hit a tree when Kelly veered off the road to avoid the animal.

Her mother, Ada Kelly of the same address, whose age was not available, was a passenger in the front seat of the car.

Cochran, April Kelly and Ada Kelly were treated and released, said hospital spokesman Diane Gawronski.
