A Vicksburg man got an unwanted birthday surprise Monday during a traffic stop when he was arrested on a Hinds County warrant charging him with possession of cocaine, Vicksburg police Capt. Bobby Stewart said.

Stewart said officers stopped Lash Rogers, 33, 910 Dewitt St., about 1:53 p.m. at the corner of Spouts Spring Road and North Washington Street for a traffic violation.

Rogers was turned over to Hinds County sheriff’s deputies later Monday afternoon, Stewart said.
