Your girlfriend dumps you; do you a) brood and determine she wasn’t worth it anyway, b) vow to woo her back, or c) go after her parents with a couple of machetes?

The Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a home invasion-style burglary with injuries, allegedly committed by an ex-boyfriend armed with knives at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. A Clinton Corners teen was arrested on felony charges.

 
The Sheriff’s Office responded to the Rhinebeck home for an initial report of a domestic dispute involving a knife. While patrols were en route, police received information it was not a domestic dispute, but a dispute involving the homeowner’s daughter’s ex-boyfriend, who had allegedly forcibly entered the home armed with machete-style knives.

When Sheriff’s patrols arrived at the scene, they found the girl’s mother and father suffering knife wounds, as well as the suspect — Nicholas Usuriello, 17, of Clinton Corners. Police said he was still armed with two knives.

After a short time, Usuriello was disarmed and taken into custody without further incident. While the investigation is continuing, initial investigation revealed Usuriello had planned the incident, and had entered the home when he was confronted by his ex-girlfriend’s parents, police said.
