Fugitive out of Harrison County has been taken into custody by the WCSO and VPD

A fugitive out of Harrison County has been taken into custody in a joint effort by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office and the Vicksburg Police Department.

Several days ago, Sheriff Martin Pace and Deputy Police Chief Troy Kimble received information that 16-year-old Javion Latwan Marque Washington was possibly in the Vicksburg area. Surveillance was then set up at a location where Washington was believed to be hiding, the 1100 block of Avenue D.

Kimble and Pace, along with officers and deputies of the WCSO and VPD, took Washington into custody without incident on Monday.

Washington will be turned back over to the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department to face three counts of burglary and two counts of aggravated assault. He is currently sitting in the Warren County Jail until he can be transported to Harrison County on Tuesday.
