A Louisiana man accused of slashing another man with a sharp object was held without bail this morning.

Charles Harris, 33, 636 Roberson Road, New Iberia, La., was arrested Saturday at a home in the 200 block of Meadow Lane and charged with aggravated assault, Vicksburg police Capt. Sandra Williams said.

Harris is accused of slashing a man who was helping a woman he was in a domestic violence disturbance with, Williams said.

Both Harris and the victim were taken to River Region Medical Center where they were treated and released.

Harris was in the Issaquena County Correctional Facility this morning awaiting his initial appearance in Vicksburg Municipal Court.

Fallen trees block roads

A storm front late Saturday night toppled trees in the eastern part of Warren County.

Trees and utility poles were knocked over between Levi’s and Interstate 20 on Mount Alban Road during the storm Saturday night, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.

“Mount Alban Road was totally or partially blocked for the duration of the night,” he said.

At about 5:45 Sunday, a large tree fell across Jeff Davis Road, and traffic was rerouted into early this morning, Pace said.

County work crews used chainsaws and tractors to clear the tree.
