    Tulsa County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested an accused copper thief Wednesday morning, who they say had the wire attached to the hitch of his pickup truck.

    It happened around 4:00 a.m. when they say a deputy was on patrol on 56th Street North near Bird Creek and saw the pickup parked by the bridge.

    The deputy saw power line wires had been stripped from a nearby power line pole and tied to the truck’s hitch.

    They say 61-year-old Kenneth Eugene Sanders was in the driver’s seat and was arrested.

    They say a second suspect ran away and is still at large.

    They say approximately 250 feet of power lines were damaged.
