Also found inside the club was a Kimber .45-caliber handgun that had been reported stolen to the Warren County Sheriff’s Department. Then, during a a search of Chriss’ car, the agents found a glass jar containing 37 individual baggies of marijuana.

Chriss was arrested on charges of possession of a stolen firearm and possession of marijuana. Chriss appeared in Vicksburg Municipal Court on Friday, where Judge Penny Lawson set his bond at $2,500. Chriss was bound over to the Warren County Grand Jury.
