The victim, a 26-year-old man, told police that at about 12:20 p.m. he came home and saw Dodson in his house near 49th and Leamington, holding a pillow case containing various items from the home.
Dodson reportedly bolted and fled the house, holding the pillow case, as well as a crowbar and a knife in his gloved hands.
The victim ran after him; and Dodson allegedly hollered "Stop chasing me or I'll kill you!"
Dodson then allegedly dropped the pillow case in a back yard at 4911 South Laramie.
Police arrived on the scene and said they saw the victim chasing Dodson; and that Dodson then ran up to a blue Pontiac driven by a 20-year-old Bridgeport woman and smashed the passenger side window with his crowbar. (The driver later told police that Dodson then leaned into the car and hollered "Stop or I'll kill you!" but that she escaped by driving away.)
Police pursued Dodson and caught him in a gangway next to 4909 South Long. They ordered him to drop the knife and crowbar, and he did.
The 26-year-old victim identified the contents of the pillow case as his. They included a laptop computer, a camera, a small change purse with a watch inside, 16 small jewelry boxes with assorted jewelry inside, two large jewelry boxes with assorted jewelry inside.

Cruz and his companion were concealing their faces with bandanas, police said.
Police stopped the pair in the alley behind 6250 South Kolin, and when they asked Cruz to get off his bike, he allegedly responded "What for? You got no probable cause. F~ck you, motherf~ckin' pig-ass b~tches. We didn't do sh~t."

At 11:55 p.m. Friday, November 2, the victim drove his black pickup truck to a home near 56th and Parkside to visit friends. Two thugs quickly approached.

At that point, the victim's friend, a 33-year-old woman, walked out of her home and saw what was occurring. Upon seeing her, one of the robbers yelled "It's his wife!" and they then slashed the two rear tires on the truck and fled on foot south on Parkside.
The woman told police that her husband also drives a black pickup truck---similar to the victim's. She added that she had earlier seen a blue sedan circling the block before the incident.
