SALINA – Law enforcement authorities in Saline County arrested a man Tuesday afternoon after he was caught in the act of a home burglary.

Saline County Sheriff Glen Kochanowski said a 13-year-old boy arrived home just after 3:30 p.m. and noticed the front door of the residence, in the 2400 Block of Cottonwood, had been kicked in.

The boy also observed a man run from the home. The teen left the home and called authorities.

A deputy responding to the call saw a Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper had a man on the ground at gun point near the location.

Authorities arrested 24-year-old Apollo Jolly.

The sheriff said Jolly is alleged to have ransacked the home. There were holes in the walls, damage to doors and furnishings. Cash and jewelry were also reported missing.

Loss and damage is estimated at $3,775.

Sheriff Kochanowski said that Jolly, who bonded out of jail on a probation charge Monday evening, was not acting rationally when arrested.

Jolly was booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges of aggravated burglary, theft, and felony criminal to damage.
