A Vicksburg man was arrested this morning following an investigation into drug complaints in his neighborhood, police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.

Edester Sims, 33, 3214 1/2 Washington St., was arrested at his home about 4:30 after police served a search warrant, Stewart said.

Officers seized about 1 gram of crack cocaine, 1/2 ounce of marijuana and $201, he said. Sims was charged with possession of cocaine. The quantity of marijuana was not enough to trigger a felony charge, Stewart said.
