Two people accused of coming to Vicksburg to pawn property stolen in Louisiana were arrested Wednesday.

Anna Easter, 38 of West Monroe and Patrick Tadios, 38, no address available, were arrested Wednesday afternoon by investigator John Nguyen on felony warrants from Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Department for residential burglary and possession of stolen property, Vicksburg police Capt. Sandra Williams said.

VPD received information from Ouachita Parish Wednesday that the couple had come to Vicksburg to pawn stolen property, Williams said.

They were arrested at a pawnshop, and property reported stolen in Louisiana was recovered in their vehicle and hotel room, Williams said.

Easter and Tadios waived extradition and were returned Wednesday night to Ouachita Parish to face charges.
