A Vicksburg man accused of knocking another man unconscious during a December fight at a nightclub has surrendered to police.

Shannon Tillman, 28, 203 Linda Drive, surrendered Monday and was charged with aggravated assault, Vicksburg police Lt. Troy Kimble said.

Tillman is accused of knocking a 42-year-old man unconscious at LD’s Kitchen, 1111 Mulberry St. at about 2:30 a.m. Dec. 16, Kimble said. The man was taken to River Region Medical Center and later to University of Mississippi Medical Center where he was treated for a concussion and a broken nose, Kimble said.

The Vicksburg Board of Mayor and Aldermen recently asked the state to set closing time at four city bars, including LD’s, at 2 a.m., citing safety concerns.
