A Tarrant County jury has found 28-year-old Brandon Durgin guilty of Burglary of a Habitation and sentenced him to 50 years in prison. The conviction stems from a March 2, 2024 incident in which Durgin forcefully broke into a stranger's home in Arlington. Prior to the offense, Durgin had broken into another neighbor’s home earlier the same day. At the time of his arrest, Durgin was wanted for multiple felony warrants.
The Arlington Police Department conducted the investigation, while the case was prosecuted by the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Office. Assistant District Attorneys Jeanne Truglio and Chris DeWitt led the prosecution.
