A Vicksburg man was being held in the Warren County Jail in lieu of $30,000 bond, accused of forcing his way into to a home on U.S. 61 South.

The incident occurred about 5:28 p.m. Wednesday. Vicksburg police Sgt. Johnnie Edwards said Joshua Boyd, 20, 3365 U.S. 61 South Lot 19, is charged with home invasion.

According to police reports, Boyd forced his way into the house because he wanted to convince the daughter of the homeowner to date him instead of someone else. The girl was not home, but another girl who was visiting at the home became frightened when Boyd entered, and locked herself in another room and called 911.
