MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis man is behind bars after he was caught trying to break into two homes on Royal Wood.

After taking the suspect into custody, police said they heard him say he did it to make his girlfriend happy and to take care of his kid.

Early Saturday morning, police responded to a prowler call in the 3600 block of Royal Wood.

The victims told authorities a man shattered the kitchen window and was coming inside when they began screaming and shouting for help.

Scared, the suspect took off and the two women called the police.

As officers were searching the area, they discovered another broken window at a home down the street.

According to the police report, they saw a man climb out of the window from inside the home.

The suspect, seeing officers watching him, took off running, but was soon captured and identified as Curtis Seay.

Inside Seay’s car was a 60-inch flat screen TV, a jewelry box containing 12 watches and other pieces of jewelry, and an Xbox Kinect among other things.

Officials determined all of the items belonged to the second homeowner and were returned.

Seay has been charged with aggravated burglary, evading arrest, and resisting official detention.

His bond was set at $15,000.
