A Vicksburg man was in the Warren County Jail this morning charged with felony eluding, police Capt. Bobby Stewart said.

Horatio Carson, 25, 2832 U.S. 61 South, led officers on a chase after they attempted to stop him for driving his 1998 Ford Explorer without headlights north on U.S. 61 near Grange Hall Road, Stewart said.

Carson made a U-turn, turned onto Cedars Road and then Hall Road before abandoning the Explorer and running into the woods, where he was nabbed with the assistance of a K-9 team, said the captain.

Carson was being held without bond for the Mississippi Department of Corrections because he was on parole for a 2008 conviction on two counts of sale of cocaine. He had been sentenced Dec. 5, 2008, to serve eight years in prison. His parole date was unavailable.
