Home of Former WOWT Meteorologist Burglarized

Dale Munson, courtesy of nebraskaradio.comFormer WOWT (Cox Channel 8) meteorologist Dale Munson recently had a scare with a burglar.

Munson was doing yard work outside his home near 90th & West Center Road. He had left the garage open for his wife, who was not home at the time. When she returned, she drove into the garage and closed the door.

Inside the house, she heard a noise just before being confronted by a strange man, who quickly bolted out of the house and down the street. A neighbor who saw the man running from the house followed in his car and spotted the would-be burglar getting in a car at a nearby shopping center.

Omaha Police were able to catch up with the man - who was accompanied by another man - within the hour. Police say both men had recently been released from prison. They were found to be in possession of Munson's wallet, a money clip, a jewelry box, blank checks and a few other items.
