A Vicksburg man was booked into the Warren County Jail Tuesday, charged with the possession of 5.5 pounds of marijuana, said Lt. Bobby Stewart of the Vicksburg Police Department.

Christopher Evans, 27, 450 Lake Hill Drive, Apt. 1612, was arrested at his home after Vicksburg police and a Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics used a search warrant to comb the apartment. Stewart said the warrant was issued after complaints of drug activity in the area. The drugs are valued at about $28,000.

Evans was in jail without bond this morning, awaiting an initial court appearance.
