Baseball practice at Midwest City High School was just wrapping up when someone said they noticed a strange man was inside a coach’s truck. “He said, ‘Is someone supposed to be at your truck,’” assistant coach Greg Bruno said of the Jan. 26 incident. “And I’m like, ‘I don’t think so.’” Bruno and another coach ran toward the suspect, who they said saw them coming and tried to climb a fence to get away. "His sleeve got stuck here,” Bruno said. “He got stuck and did a front flip. And I think I hopped it from right here. He gets up and tries to throw a punch. Well, he misses, and I dodge it.” Head coach Adam Skokowski, who was inside, heard something gone on and sprang into action. “I looked to my left and I saw two guys chasing him,” he said. “I had no clue what happened. I thought maybe someone was attacking one of my baseball players. I didn’t really know.” Skokowski jumped in to help, and he also climbed over the fence. “I wanted to get in there and help and make sure that they didn’t get hurt,” he said. The coaches held down the suspect, identified as 23-year-old Jesse Lee, until police arrived. Lee was arrested and booked into the Oklahoma County Jail on complaints of second-degree burglary.
