A county teen was in the Warren County Jail today charged as an adult for a grand larceny reported on April 1, records showed.

Initially, Thomas Wayne Dearman, 16, 400 Ashwood Drive, was arrested at police headquarters and taken to the Warren County Youth Detention Center a week ago, Vicksburg police Sgt. Sandra Williams said.

Warren County Youth Court Judge Johnny Price transferred Dearman’s case to Circuit Court on Thursday, Williams said, because the teen is accused of breaking into a home in the 2500 block of Cherry Street and, along with another teen, taking jewelry and electronics valued at nearly $500.

He is the third person arrested in the crime, but his arrest was not made public until today.

Jonathan T. Grogan, 17, 1802 Vicklan St., was arrested in woods off nearby Finney Street about 30 minutes after the burglary was reported, and Leon Blackmore III, 22, 225 Bowmar Ave., surrendered to authorities on Sunday

Dearman was being held on a $50,000 bond, and Blackmore and Grogan remained there on $10,000 bond each.

Tools, appliances missing in burglary

Power tools and appliances were reported missing from a home in the 1200 block of Washington Street Thursday, Vicksburg police Sgt. Sandra Williams said.

At 12:27 p.m., several handtools valued at $200, four extension cords valued at $75 together, two box fans valued at $20 together, 140 copper ceiling fans valued at $46 each, three light fixtures valued at $400 together and seven power tools valued at about $1,735 were reported stolen.

County woman held for drug court violation

Cassandra Taylor, 32, 3031 Freetown Road, was being held without bond.

2 arsons reported in city this morning

Two vehicle fires were being investigated in the city this morning as arsons, Vicksburg Fire Chief Charles Atkins said.

No witnesses had come forward in either of the fires, reported at 1007 First North St. and at 140 Alcorn Drive, he said. No times were available for the early-morning blazes.

“It’s really sketchy right now,” he said. The apparent ignition of the blazes led investigators to believe they were arsons, he said.

Fire Investigator Leslie Decareaux did not return a call.

No injuries were reported.

At least six other arsons have been reported in the city this year, and a former volunteer firefighter in Utica, 32-year-old Leroy Evans, has been charged and released on bond from the Warren County Jail.

Evans also faces charges of three other arsons set since 2000, officials said.

The fires this year were reported on Jackson and Second North streets, where five homes — one occupied — and an empty corner store were burned.
