YOUNGSTOWN — Abass Hussein, 31, of Sugarland, Texas, remains in the Mahoning County jail after he was arraigned Wednesday in Youngstown Municipal Court on aggravated burglary in connection to a Monday night armed burglary at a home near McKelvey Lake on the East Side.

Bond was set at $75,000, and he returns for a preliminary hearing at 9:15 a.m. Nov. 22 before Judge Carla Baldwin. If convicted, he could get more than 10 years in prison.

Hussein was arrested Monday night just inside the woodline near a house on Oak Street that was burglarized.

Police were called there for a burglary in progress. The caller reported the door had just been kicked in. When officers arrived, they saw a tall, dark figure running from the home toward the rear yard. Two officers chased and could hear voices and branches moving in the woodline of a large field, according to a police report. Another officer joined them in the search, following the bank of McKelvey Lake.

A police dog was deployed and the search continued.

Meanwhile, an officer went inside the house and spoke with one of the residents, who recounted hearing three bangs at the side door. Three masked, armed men in black clothing entered the home, the report states.

One of the men put a gun to the victim’s head and instructed the victim where to move around the house. The victim and two of the burglars went upstairs with one of the burglars ransacking a bedroom, the report states.

Another of the burglars went into another bedroom and put a gun to the back of the head of the person working at computer in that room and struck that victim with the gun repeatedly, the report states.

The burglar ordered the victim to access their crypto account, but the burglar did not take any money, the report states. The burglar threatened to kill the victim and took the victim’s cellphone.

The burglar on the first floor yelled something to the two burglars upstairs in what sounded like a foreign language, and all three men fled the home, the report states.

While the officer was interviewing the victims, he learned a suspect had been found hiding near the tree line near the rear yard of the victims’ home.

With the man was the cellphone that had been taken from the home, police said. They also recovered the man’s Texas drivers license.

The man was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital for complaints of chest pain, and then was taken to the Mahoning County jail.

Police observed blood on a broken window of the home. Police believe the window was used by at least one of the burglars to enter the home. The blood and other evidence was collected by a Youngstown police crime scene investigator.

Police also learned that a stun gun was found in the house that did not belong to the residents of the home and apparently had come from the burglary suspects. It also was collected as evidence, the report states.
