A Vicksburg man who was released last summer after spending more than a decade in prison for business burglaries was charged this morning with two of the 37 business break-ins reported in the city during the past month, and police said he likely will face more charges.

&#8220At this time we’re looking at multiple other business burglaries,” said Capt. Mark Culbertson. &#8220We’re going to ask he be held without bond pending other charges.”

Charged is Darrah Williams, 38, 742 Dabney Ave., who had been released from prison on a burglary conviction last summer. This morning he was charged with the Monday break-ins at CDS Home Care and the dental office of Robert Sadler, Culbertson said.

Entry was not gained to Sadler’s office, where a door was partially kicked in, but $270 was reported missing from CDS Home Care. CDS had also reported its front window knocked out and $40 missing five days earlier, on Jan. 25, but Culbertson did not say if Williams was a suspect in that burglary.

The 37 burglaries, thefts and attempted break-ins at local businesses in January is about triple the 2005 monthly average. More than half were in a square-mile area near Interstate 20, encompassing Mission 66, Indiana Avenue, North and South Frontage roads and Halls Ferry Road.

Three businesses – CDS Home Care, CitiFinancial on Indiana Avenue and CompUDoc Inc. on Clay Street – had multiple break-ins or attempted break-ins during the month. Several doctors’ offices and other health-related businesses near each other on Mission 66 and Mission Park Drive were also targeted on different nights.

Williams was already being held on another charge when the break-in charges were filed. He had been stopped by officers at Clay and Washington streets at 3 p.m. Wednesday on a misdemeanor warrant, Culbertson said, and he was arrested when a switchblade was found in his car. As a convicted felon, he is not allowed to possess a weapon.

Williams was charged in October 1995 with 13 business burglaries and spent nearly a decade in the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman before being released last summer, Culbertson said. He was on parole from the Mississippi Department of Corrections, which will return Williams to Parchman today after police complete interviews.

&#8220We’ll be charging him with felony possession of a weapon as well,” Culbertson said, &#8220so he’ll be going straight back to the penitentiary.”

Police will continue to investigate another suspect today, Culbertson said.

Vicksburg, Clinton and Madison police and the Hinds County Sheriff’s Department uncovered a cache of stolen equipment – including chainsaws, heaters and air compressors – at a home in Jackson Thursday, some of which could have come from a Jan. 16 theft at a Laws Construction work site on Halls Ferry Road, Culbertson said. Two Wacker generators and tools valued at $1,000 were reported missing from the site but were not identified among items recovered Thursday, said Madison PD Investigator Jeff Waldrop. He said not all of the items have been identified Thursday.

Madison Police have charged a man with thefts in Madison, Waldrop said, but he remains only a suspect in the Vicksburg theft.
