Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said a tip called in to Crime Stoppers this week led to the arrest of a man wanted in Las Vegas on an array of charges.

“Investigators were able to identify a place of employment on Frontage Road,” Pace said. “Units from the Vicksburg Police Department (VPD) and the Warren County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) were able to surveil the business and actually watch this individual fitting the description that Las Vegas Metropolitan Police had provided.”

Pace said VPD officers and WCSO deputies were able to take into custody without incident 18-year-old Donald Ray Robinson Jr. just before 10 a.m. Tuesday.

Robinson is charged by the Clark County, Nev. District Attorney’s Office with conspiracy to discharge a firearm into a vehicle or structure; discharging a firearm into a vehicle or structure; battery with use of a deadly weapon; and assault with a deadly weapon.

Pace said Robinson made his initial appearance in court Tuesday in front of Justice Court Judge Jeff Crevitt, at which point extradition was waived. Robinson will be held in the Warren County Jail without bond until Clark County law enforcement officials arrive to transport him back to Nevada.
