A disturbance at Morgan’s Piggly Wiggly on Halls Ferry Road Saturday has led to the arrest of a Vicksburg man for drug charges.

On Saturday, officers responded to a report of a disturbance in the grocery store’s parking lot. There they made contact with Peter Winship, 50, of Vicksburg, who was found to be in possession of 2.6 grams of methamphetamine. He was charged with one count of possession of methamphetamine.

During an initial appearance in municipal court Sunday, Judge Angela Carpenter set Winship’s bond at $10,000 and bound his case over to the grand jury.
