A Clinton man charged with strong-arm robbery in the theft of money from a cash register at Walmart is being held in the Warren County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bond.

The bond was set for John Salvatore Digennaro 29, 211 Grand Oak Blvd., Clinton, Friday at an initial appearance in Municipal Court. Police said Digennaro has a hold placed on him by the Mississippi Department of Corrections, and he has outstanding warrants from Ridgeland and Clinton police.

Digennaro is accused of walking into the Vicksburg Walmart Thursday, going to a register and then shoving the cashier and taking money from the register after she opened it. He left the store and got into a red Nissan, which was later seen in Clinton. When police tried to stop the car, he fled, wrecking the car and then running away from the scene.

He was later arrested by Clinton police and returned to Vicksburg.

In other cases:

• Three people face multiple charges after their arrest in connection with a Sunday afternoon shootout at the Four-way Grocery at Wisconsin Avenue and Enchanted Drive, Vicksburg police Sgt. Johnnie Edwards said.

No one was wounded in the exchange of gunfire, which occurred about 4 p.m. Sunday.

Arrested were Dikembe Jose Stewart, 23, 900 Wabash St., possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, shooting into an occupied vehicle and possession of a stolen firearm; Chandrick Eugene Coleman, 33, 414 Ridgeland St., shooting into an occupied vehicle and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon; and Adeline Denise Bingham, 29, 933 National Street, accessory after the fact to shooting into an occupied vehicle and obstruction of justice.

Stewart and Coleman are accused of shooting at each other from their parked cars in the store parking lot. Both cars had multiple bullet holes. Bingham was a passenger in the car driven by Coleman.

All three are being held in the Warren County Jail. Stewart is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond, Coleman’s bond was set at $75,000. Bingham’s is being held in lieu of $15,000 bond.

Edwards said police believe the shootout may have been in retaliation for earlier incidents in which shots were fired at Stewart’s grandmother’s home at 900 Wabash St., about 4:19 a.m. Sunday. About two hours later, at 6:08 a.m., shots were fired at Bingham’s home at 933 National St.
