Petty crimes and vandalism in Vicksburg Saturday night

Saturday night has been marred by numerous petty crimes and vandalism in Vicksburg.

A section of East Main Street had trash cans destroyed and mail boxes knocked down, and there was one report of a side mirror on a car being knocked off.

At 12:28 a.m. a call came into the 911 Call Center reporting an alarm at the KFC on Indiana. The caller said a window had been broken; however, no broken window was found at the location.

A caller reported they were shot at while on the Interstate near mile marker 15. The report said a man in a green Nissan fired one shot at the caller. Another call in the county also reported shots fired. It is not uncommon for law enforcement to find no evidence of shots fired.

Friday night law enforcement seemed to be everywhere in Vicksburg, clearing parking lots and and known hang-out spots. There was not the strong police presence Saturday night.

On Friday, police were concentrated at the Tree House Cafe and Banquet Hall on Cherry Street around 1:45 a.m. The business was packed with party goers.

One female was arrested on an outstanding bond at the Tree House unrelated to the evening’s event.

What-A-Burger is always a weekend hot spot, and this weekend was no different. Police cleared the lot several times on Friday and Saturday night.
