The Philly Streets and City Wide News

When Caleb Clark entered the target house on Hilda Drive* he thought that that it would deliver like all his other scores. Clark would help himself to someone else’s property and no one would be the wiser.

Instead Caleb ended up in the hospital, getting his head stapled back together.

Despite having already left for work, the Army-veteran man of the house decided to swing back and briefly check on things. And when he returned to find Caleb Clark in his living room, it was on.

Clark attempted to flee, but took off in the direction of a closed door. The homeowner quickly closed the distance and opened up a Costco-size can of whoopass on Clark, eventually pinning him to the floor and calling 911.

Caleb R. Clark, 19 and no stranger to the criminal justice system, had to have his head stapled closed, after which he was booked on two third-degree felony charges â€” one each of residential burglary and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. (Caleb had cut the homeowner with a piece of glass.)

Clark also had three outstanding felony warrants for his arrest: two for violating terms of his release and one for failure to appear… for a residential burglary he allegedly committed back in January 2019. He won’t be getting out any time soon.

*I appreciate your concern for the homeownerâ€™s privacy. In fact, I share it. Prior to publishing this video we verified that the homeowner and his family had long-since moved from the incident house. Had that not been the case, or had we been unable to confirm it, their address would not have appeared in the video or description.

About the blurring in this video:

New Mexico’s access to public records statute is the Inspection of Public Records Act â€” “IPRA” for short. As in most states, there exists a general presumption that New Mexico government records are public, but that presumption can be overcome if a record meets the criteria of one or more exemptions. In most states there are many dozens, even hundreds, of exemptions. New Mexico has only seven core exemptions. That said, they are quite broad, and first among the group is an exemption for “Records pertaining to physical or mental examinations and medical treatment of persons confined to any institution,” found at NMSA 1978 Â§ 14-2-1-A (1).

Despite the fact that exemptions are supposed to be narrowly construed, and the fact that “confined to any institution” is unambiguous, in 1977 the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled that the medical records exemption applied to all records kept by any governmental agency relating to physical or mental illness or medical treatment… and not just to records of persons confined to institutions. See State ex rel. Newsome v. Alarid, 90 N.M. 790, 568 P. 2d 1236 (1977).

The City of Las Cruces applies that exemption by blurring anything resembling a medical intervention. Rectangular-shaped blurring in this video has been applied by the City of Las Cruces. All other blurring is from us, and is typically present to protect the someone’s personal privacy.

Because a few people have been asking, I can confirm that @Jamar Wilson is the homeowner seen in this video.

@Jamar Wilson â€“ I'm glad to see you here! Heads up: I have more than five hours of video from this incident. If you'd like a copy of it all I'd be glad to send it your way. Email me at jay@realworldpolice.com if you're interested. (Let me know if you'd like a copy without yourself blurred. I would need your consent to get that, but I'd be happy to do it.)

Mr Wilson is a hero! More of these punks need a beat down.

Give this guy a medal for his emotional n mental strength to control himself. Been in war n shot 3 times, PTSD, n only smacked this guy around even after he cut him. Keep it up bro your strength is an inspiration ðŸ‘ðŸ¼

Anyone else DYING LAUGHING?? ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚ that dude got his ass WHOOPED

That man has incredible patience because if I saw him in time he would have got shot down

if you break in my house then youve got a deathwish. good on the homeowner for doing what he did.

ðŸ‘ ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

I love the intro song to these vids. Dope choice

"I broke a knuckle on his forehead"….damn that must have hurt his skinny ass ðŸ˜†

That kid is so lucky that Veteran had self control. That mans adrenalin was running at 110% and very little stood between That veteran snapping that boys neck like a twig and just giving him that educational ass whopping.

Two female officers responding to a burglary.. lol itâ€™s only a matter of time b4 you see a lot more women cops seriously hurt snd or ….. it already happens a lot , despite them getting special privileges in usually having a male officer with them

Did I hear correctly? When the female officer first approached Caleb she called him by name and did he then ask â€œis my father hereâ€. And then later when the blonde woman in civilian clothes was in the background I thought I understood some conversation about â€œCalebâ€™s dadâ€. Or did I miss hear? Is his father on the police force?

Love the guy robbing got caught

YOU PICK THE THE WRONG HOUSE FOOL!!!!!!

Someone get this man some weed!

Cop says you're still whooping on that ass! It's funny as hell.

Good

This is why we need the 2nd amendment. When you need help in seconds, police are minutes away.

that little shed type thing is adorable

Yo adrian!! We did it!!!

Dont break into other people's homes. What a stooge

I LðŸ’œVE IT HAHA WHITE BOYZ DO BLEEDâœŒï¸ðŸ’šðŸ’œðŸ’›ðŸ§šðŸ¿âš¡ï¸ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ”¥

Holy cow man. Guy lucky he didn't kill him. Good job for the sergeant part really cool guy.

I didnt even see a scratch on his face…

X files theme plays…

It's nice that smoking weed doesn't set cops off in a search warrant anymore. He might as well have said "I drink alcohol sometimes, I'm sorry"

To those who do not understand that â€œFive minutes is a long timeâ€
You are truly blessed.

Good for that homeowner. Karma for the thief.

He's realy Lucky with that home owner.

Cop: do not move, Caleb, do not move.
Home owner: oh fuck, you know him!?!

Poor man. I hope he doesnâ€™t suffer from PTSD or anything from his service. He looks so traumatized.

Edit: around the 5:00 mark he says â€œI have PTSD.â€ That makes me so angry for him that that kid has done this to him MORE THAN ONCE and put him in a situation where he was forced to react with violence. This must have been so triggering for him. I hope he got passed this okay!
