LONGVIEW — Longview Police say a Gilmer man reportedly broke into a couple of trailers at a local retailer and is now in custody. A tip led authorities to John Harris, 21, who stands accused of trying to break into several trailers at the Academy Store in Longview Sunday morning and set them on fire. Harris was arrested in Upshur County Monday on an unrelated drug charge. Authorities say he’ll be extradited back to Gregg County. He faces burglary charges with arson charges pending.
