An early Monday morning arrest of a Vicksburg man for outstanding warrants led to far more during the traffic stop.

Zackery Bryant, 32, of Vicksburg, was stopped just after midnight Monday by the Vicksburg Police Department’s Narcotics/Net Team. Originally arrested for outstanding misdemeanor warrants, Bryant was found it be in possession of a felony amount of marijuana.

Bryant appeared before Judge Angela Carpenter in Vicksburg Municipal Court Monday afternoon on a charge of felony possession of marijuana. Carpenter set a $30,000 bond on Bryant and bound his case over to the Warren County grand jury.
