Break-in suspect seeks lawyer

A Murfreesboro man charged with breaking into a Unionville residence while a teen girl was home sick told a judge he is trying to hire an attorney to take his case.

Larry Randall Henry II, of Crater Road, Murfreesboro, made his first appearance in Bedford County General Sessions court before Judge Charles Rich and will appear again on April 29.

Henry is charged with aggravated burglary, criminal trespassing and vandalism in connection with a break-in on Unionville-Deason Road on Feb. 20. He is currently free on $70,000 bond.

He has been accused of committing a daylight home invasion in which a 13-year-old girl hid under her grandmother's bed while Henry allegedly went through the home.

According to a report by Bedford County Deputy Kevin Holton, the girl had been home alone from school with an illness when she heard a knock on the front door but did not answer it.

However, the report states that Henry allegedly walked to the rear of the home and began tampering with the back door. The girl hurried to the door in the home's kitchen that led to the garage and locked it, but according to the report, as she made her way back to the living room, she heard the kitchen door bust open.

The girl told authorities she ran to her grandmother's bedroom and got under the bed and could hear Henry allegedly "going through items in the house"

Henry then allegedly entered the bedroom where the young teen was hiding and began going through the nightstand beside the bed, when he allegedly looked under the bed, saw the girl, and then ran out of the house.

The girl was able to give a description of the man she saw, as well as the make of the vehicle he was driving.
