Sunday morning feel good stories

From Omaha, Nebraska;

Camille Clark stepped outside her home to take out recyclables when she noticed something off in the driveway.

“There was a bicycle parked between our vehicles that didn’t belong there,” said Camille’s husband, Michael Clark.

Clark said his wife then noticed Dube rummaging through the classic cars in their garage. Police said Dube pulled a gun on her. She then ran inside to tell her husband.

“I slammed on my clothes, grabbed my gun, came upstairs (and) went outside,” Michael Clark said. “At that point in time, (Dube) was already taking off down the block so I hopped in my car and I started chasing him down.”

Clark got dressed so quickly, he said he put on his 12-year-old child’s shoe, didn’t have a cellphone and forgot to put his glasses on. Clark chased Dube, who was on a bike, down the street until he eventually stopped.

When Clark got out of his car to try to catch Dube, he said the 41-year-old shot at him.

“He shot a couple rounds at me and that’s when I got back into my car because I couldn’t see him,” Clark said. “It was at that point that I realized, ‘Hey, I don’t have the right shoes on. I don’t have my phone. I don’t have my glasses. I can barely see this guy.’ The only shot I could’ve taken was, it was bad. It was just an ineligible shot.”

Clark said he wanted to stop Dube until police arrived. With poor vision and the fear of accidentally shooting at a neighbor’s house, he didn’t use his weapon and shined his car lights at Dube to try and blind him.

That’s when David Kilpatrick noticed something going on in his driveway.

“I seen some lights come in the driveway, so I got up and went to the door,” said Kilpatrick. “When I got to the door there was somebody out here in the driveway messing around, so I just opened up the door and come on out here.”

Kilpatrick said he didn’t think twice and a tussle quickly started between him and Dube.

“I was kind of livid and he acted like he was getting kind of goofy on me and I just body-slammed him up against the van,” Dube said.

Kilpatrick said Dube knocked him to the ground before running off. Dube tried to jump a fence, but was unsuccessful and ran off on foot.

Clark, who was still in his car at that point, followed Dube. He said as the 41-year-old ran, he started dropping some of the items he stole.

“It looked like Santa Claus got a hole in his bag, there’s just stuff falling all over the place,” Clark said.

Clark continued to follow Dube until Omaha police arrived and took the 41-year-old into custody in someone’s backyard. OPD said Dube already had a felony warrant and three misdemeanor warrants out for his arrest.

Dube now faces a number of additional charges after Friday’s arrest, including theft from a motor vehicle, terroristic threats, burglary, attempted felony assault, obstructing a peace officer, felon in possession of a firearm and prescription drug requirements.

According to OPD, officers located a small, black and silver handgun at the scene. They also found 9mm rounds in Dube’s pockets and some pills identified as Seroquel, which is a prescription anti-psychotic medication. He was also carrying items that police said belonged to Clark.

OPD said Dube gave officers a false name and refused to cooperate with detectives.
