Yes, a garage is a structure that qualifies for burglary. If it is detached, then it is second degree burglary. If it were attached, it could potentially qualify as a first degree (residential) burglary - a potential strike.

Yes. Now, if you are the one facing such criminal charges, I suggest you take them seriously because of the potential prison time upon conviction. If serious about hiring counsel for this, feel free to contact me.
