Police Apprehend Two Alleged Residential Burglars

LONGVIEW — Police in Longview say they’ve taken two burglary suspects into custody. Just after 8:00 Wednesday morning, officers were dispatched to the 1700 Block of Swan Street for a residential burglary that had just occurred. When officers arrived, the victim told police she had been sitting at her table when an unknown male kicked her door in. She said the male spoke to her and then left the house. The suspect reportedly left his phone in the driveway, and police were able to identify him as Michael D. Usery, 18, of Hallsville. Usery was found a short time later, arrested for burglary of a habitation, and transported to the Gregg County Jail without incident. During the course of the investigation a male juvenile was also detained with Usery and taken to the Gregg County Juvenile Detention Center and charged with burglary of a habitation.
