A 79-year-old Bucyrus man reported a break-in at his Highway 17 residence to the Texas County Sheriff’s Department.
An investigating officer collected evidence at the scene implicating a 47-year-old Houston man. The officer also observed damage done to a door to the home, and took blood samples from the scene.
The suspect was later contacted and a blood sample was taken. Both were sent to a lab for comparison.
A probable cause statement was sent to the county prosecuting attorney seeking a burglary charge against the suspect.
