A Vicksburg man accused of two armed robberies in the same neighborhood in three weeks was held without bail this morning.

Johnny Taylor Jr., 20, 1501 Military Ave., was arrested at 6:57 p.m. Tuesday at a home in the 2600 block of Roosevelt Avenue, also in the same neighborhood, and charged with two counts of armed robbery, Vicksburg police Capt. Bobby Stewart said.

He was quiet about the details of the arrest.

Taylor, Melvin Harris, 19, 105 Evergreen St., Port Gibson, and Bobby Bunton, 20, whose address has not been confirmed, are accused of robbing a 44-year-old man playing basketball at a park at Ken Karyl Avenue and Rainey Street at 7:37 p.m. Monday, Stewart said.

A Blackberry cellphone valued at $100 and a wallet containing $600 were reported stolen from the man, Stewart said.

Harris and Bunton were still on the lam this morning, Stewart said.

Bunton is currently on probation from a 2011 conviction for nonresidential burglary and two counts of vehicle burglary, Stewart said.

Taylor also is accused of stealing at gunpoint $800 from a man walking in the 2500 block of Halls Ferry Road in Marcus Bottom on Nov. 16, Stewart said.

On Sept. 25, three men got out of a maroon vehicle and fired four shots at Taylor outside Five Star Food Mart, 1108 Bowmar Ave., Stewart said.

After being shot once, Taylor walked to a house at 2711 Drummond St., where a resident called 911. No suspects have been identified in the shooting, Stewart said.

Anyone with information on Harris or Bunton should call Vicksburg police at 601-636-2511 or Central Mississippi Crime Stoppers at 601-355-8477, Stewart said.

Crime Stoppers will offer a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of a felony suspect. Callers remain anonymous and do not have to testify in court.
