Suspect Charged After Robbery of Paraplegic Oklahoma City Resident as Community Steps In

Jail records show the suspect remains in custody on a first-degree burglary count with bond set at $15,000.

Overview

  • Police and local reports detail two break-ins about a week apart, with the second occurring as Alan Prudhome woke to intruders in his apartment.
  • Thieves stole his manual wheelchair, vehicle hand controls, medicine and cash after an earlier forced-entry theft of televisions and computers.
  • Officers arrested Johnny Johnson III near the area, and he is charged with first-degree burglary, remains jailed on $15,000 bond, and has an Oct. 23 court date.
  • A second suspect linked to the home invasion has not been located, and reports do not indicate recovery of the stolen medical equipment.
  • Prudhome’s GoFundMe has raised just over $11,000 toward a $16,000 goal, and a nonprofit donated a new manual wheelchair to help him get around.
