Law enforcement officers from the Vicksburg Police Department and the Warren County Sheriff’s Department participate in the Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run on Clay Street Wednesday morning. The torch run is a fundraiser in which law enforcement members carry the Flame of Hope to opening ceremonies of local Special Olympics competitions. Vicksburg Police Investigator Markeetia Braxton, from left, Sgt. Sandra Williams, Patrolmen Charles Huggins, Warren County Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Bailess and Deputy Billy Brown began the run at the Warren County Courthouse and ran along Cherry Street to Clay Street and to Mississippi 27. The torch began the run with law enforcement officers in DeSoto County and has made its way south to Vicksburg. Next, it will travel to Clinton.
