24-year-old John Sime was taken into custody about 4 Tuesday afternoon along with the .22 caliber pistol he reportedly stole during the burglary.

Reports indicate a lady interrupted the burglary in progress at her home on Noblewood Drive about 11 Tuesday morning. She reported seeing a fair skinned adult with red hair in her house but the suspect got away. He was reportedly hiding in a Culvert when he was apprehended.

Sime was booked into Tehama County jail on charges related to the burglary and fleeing the scene.
