A Warren County man was being held without bond in the Warren County Jail after his arrest Thursday on a circuit court warrant for failing to register as a sex offender, Sheriff Martin Pace said.

He said David Chase Cooke, 27, failed to appear in court Nov. 30 on the charge and the judge issued a warrant for his arrest. He said deputies acting on a tip arrested Cooke about 9:30 p.m. at a home in the 3700 block of Halls Ferry Road, where he was hiding in the closet.

In another case, Alvis Coleman Christon, 40, is accused of sale of methamphetamine after his arrest by Vicksburg police about 4:48 p.m. Thursday in the 200 block of Willow Drive, Sgt. Johnnie Edwards said.

The arrest was the result of an undercover drug investigation by police. He is being held without bond in the Issaquena County Correctional Facility because he is wanted by the Mississippi Department of Corrections for parole violation.
