Just before 10 p.m. on Friday, April 16, Vicksburg Police Officers stopped Marvell Amos, 23, of Vicksburg for a traffic violation in the area of Division Street and Oak Hill Drive. Amos was wanted on a warrant for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon by the Vicksburg Police Department, and by the State of Texas for probation violation.
