MEMPHIS, TN (AP) -- Police in Memphis figured something wasn't right when they spotted a man wheeling a water heater down a street on a dolly.

And when officers got out of their car to talk to 52-year-old Kenneth Bolden, he took off running.

The Commercial Appeal reported that police caught him, put him in the squad car and drove around the neighborhood asking him to identify the source of the heater. Police say Bolden finally pointed out a house and said, "That's the one."

Police found the back door kicked in and the spot where a water heater had been ripped out.

Bolden was held in lieu of $35,000 bond on aggravated burglary, evading arrest and having burglary tools.
