Two men indicted in North Side burglary

YOUNGSTOWN — Louis Lebron, 19, of Snyder Avenue in Struthers, and Emanuel J. Carter, 21, whose address is the Mahoning County jail, were both indicted Thursday on one count of felony burglary and one count of misdemeanor criminal damaging or endangering in a July 29 incident in which they were found inside an apartment building on Crandall Avenue on the North Side.

If they are convicted, each man could get about eight years in prison.

A Youngstown police report states that both men were captured inside an apartment building in the 200 block of Crandall Avenue.

Youngstown police were called to the building at 3:38 p.m. for a burglary being committed by seven men on foot trying to get into the apartment. A 911 caller said one of the men was “upset about their sister overdosing.”

When officers arrived, they heard a banging noise as if someone was kicking a door. A witness told officers seven men were in an upstairs apartment, according to the police report.

Officers saw a door to the apartment building open and saw two men leave the building and run south through the backyard. Then officers saw Lebron and Carter running toward officers. One of them ran back up the stairs, but both were arrested and placed in the back of a police cruiser, the police report states.

Officers then spoke to a witness, who said the bottom floor side door was forced open by the men, and when the witness saw the men running in the hallway, he locked himself in his bathroom.
