NATCHEZ — Sheriff’s deputies added charges of trespassing Wednesday to the rap sheet of a Natchez man already faced charges of stealing several thousand dollars’ worth of equipment from a construction site in January.

Adams County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Cal Green said deputies responded to a report of trespassing on Baldwin Lane on March 21, where a complainant described a silver Ford F-150 in which the reported trespassers fled.

Deputies later identified the truck on Seargent S. Prentiss Drive’s frontage road and stopped the driver, David Paul Ellis.

Ellis, 28, 41 Firetower Road, was arrested on March 21 on a charge of burglary and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. On Wednesday, deputies added a charge of trespassing.

Ellis was being held Wednesday in the Adams County Jail on a bond of $150,500.

After receiving permission to search the vehicle, Green said deputies found a loaded firearm beneath the driver’s seat as well as two firearms in the toolbox of the truck.

The dispatcher confirmed that Ellis was wanted in connection with a January breaking and entering, and deputies arrested him.

In January, Green said Ellis reportedly took a generator, chainsaw, solar panel kit, five-burner gas heater, a yellow bubble level and two air nail-guns from a construction site on Elysian Fields Road.

Because of the loaded firearm found under the driver’s seat, Green said Ellis was also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Green said the complainant at the Baldwin Road property later identified Ellis as the man who had trespassed on his property, for which Ellis received a charge of trespassing.

Ellis’s bond for burglary is set at $75,000; his bond for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon is $75,000. His bond for trespassing is $500.
