DocumentFragment_3730014GREGG COUNTY — A Longview man has been sentenced to prison after being convicted on a two-count indictment charging him with assault family violence with prior conviction and aggravated assault. According to the Longview News-Journal, after being found guilty, Michael Dean Perry, 53, was sentenced to 60 years in prison and a $10,000 fine on each count. He has numerous prior convictions dating back to 1984. The latest convictions stem from his October arrest at his Longview residence. Perry’s niece told Longview police that he broke down the door to her bedroom where she and her friends were visiting and “came at her with a knife.” He was drunk at the time.

In 2007, Perry sued members of the Gregg County Jail staff on civil charges of harassment and retaliation. At a 2011 trial in federal district court in Tyler, jurors deliberated 15 minutes before finding the jailers not guilty.
