Crime Alert, hourly update, breaking crime news now.

I never expected any of this.

It's just amazing how much everyone's come together to help me.

I'm Drew Nelson, a silver lining for a paraplegic man in Oklahoma City,

regaining his mobility after strangers step in to replace the medical gear

stolen from him during two home break-ins.

Alan Prudhomme said thieves broke into his southeast Oklahoma City apartment twice in one week,

taking his wheelchair, medication, cash, and the hand controls he used to drive a vehicle.

He told KFOR.

He woke up during the second burglary to find two men inside.

One tried to pull the bag off from around

his waist, while another came out of his closet carrying a box of his stuff. Eight days earlier,

Prudome had returned home to find his front door pride open and his valuables gone. He said the

second break-in left him terrified to stay alone. Police served arrested one suspect,

identified as Johnny Johnson III, and charged him with first-degree burglary. Officers said he

lived in the same complex. They urged residents to use good locks, cameras, and motion lights.

Prudhomme said he survives on disability and can't easily replace what was stolen.

After Allen's story aired, a former serviceman swooped in.

On behalf of wheelchairs for veterans, we'd like to present you with this manual wheelchair.

That's Stacey Reddick speaking to KFOR.

I just could not believe that somebody would steal this man's medical equipment.

So we jumped all over it.
