Hot Sauce Leads To Burglary Suspect

Memphis police charged a man with aggravated burglary, linking him to the alleged crime from hot sauce stains on his clothes. A man returned to his home about 1 p.m. Saturday to find his door had been pried open and about $650 worth of belongings stolen, including sunglasses, cologne and a generator. Several bottles of hot sauce were broken against the wall. The victim saw a man, later identified as William Horton, walk across his yard down to a gas station. Horton was followed by the homeowner, who called police. He was wearing clothes stained by hot sauce when police found him. Horton told police he broke into the victim’s house looking for car parts.
