Summary

On today's episode, Dennis is joined by Heather and Connor Priebe, the wife and son of Mark Priebe, an officer who was involved in a vehicle assault. Officer Mark Priebe joined the police force at the age of 21 and considers his work in law enforcement a calling. Hoping to make a difference, Mark graduated the police academy and started serving the community of Aurora, Missouri. There, he met his future wife, Heather, who was working at St. John Hospital in Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Wanting to be at a larger agency with more advancement opportunities, Mark moved to Springfield, Missouri, where he completed the requirements to become a patrol officer. From there, he supported numerous departments to include patrol, the traffic unit and community services. Springfield is also where Mark and Heather got married and started their family. On June 9, 2020, while on duty in the police headquarters, Mark responded to a disturbance in the front of the building. While assessing the situation with his Sergeant, Mark was intentionally run over by the suspect who set out to ‘run over a cop’ that day. “He texted a friend that morning with his plan,” said Mark. “He pulled into the parking lot, turned his wheels toward me and accelerated, striking me, and dragging me underneath the vehicle.” Due to the vehicular assault, Mark sustained severe road rash, multiple rib fractures, and a broken back that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Today, Heather and Connor tell the unbelievable story of the events unfolding from their point of view, how it effected them and their family, the support the community showed and how we strength of family.
