A married couple residing on South Street had a rude awakening at 1:28 a.m., Thursday morning when they heard their kitchen cabinets opening and closing.

When the couple went to investigate, they encountered two white males, whom they didn’t know, in their kitchen.

The husband asked the two males who they were, and the two unknown males walked out of the residence and got into a black Ford F150 and drove away. The residents then called police.

Lt. Jason Arant took on the investigation and was able to find that the two white males were UTM students who had gone inside the residence, thinking that one of their friends still lived there.

The two students, 19- year-old Turner Raines and 19-year-old Slayton Gearin of Gleason were each cited into Weakley County General Sessions Court on one charge each of criminal trespassing and vandalism. The two men were arraigned in court yesterday afternoon.
