A Vicksburg man accused of marijuana possession and a Warren County woman accused of meth possession were held without bail this morning.
Chandrick Coleman, no age available, 901 Pierce St., was arrested at about 3:30 p.m. Friday and charged with felony possession of marijuana, Vicksburg police Capt. Sandra Williams said.
Williams was arrested after a foot chase from Pierce Street to Mission 66, Williams said. He had more than one ounce of marijuana in his possession at the time of his arrest, Williams said.
Police responded to Pierce Street because Coleman’s vehicle was obstructing traffic, she said.
Coleman was held without bail this morning in the Issaquena County Correctional Facility awaiting his initial court appearance set for today.
In a separate drug case, Nicole Warnock, 33, 103 Firetower Road, was arrested Sunday and charged with possession of methamphetamine, Sheriff Martin Pace said.
Warnock was the passenger in a vehicle during a traffic stop, and meth was found in a bag belonging to her, Pace said.
Warnock was held without bail this morning in the Warren County Jail.
