Police on Wednesday booked a 22-year-old Omaha man identified as a suspect in the assault and robbery of an elderly woman Sunday in the back of St. Cecilia Cathedral. They also arrested his mother.

An arrest warrant had been issued Wednesday for Wayman Clark after members of the Omaha Police Department’s gang unit thought they recognized Clark as one of two assailants shown in a surveillance video. Crime Stoppers also received several tips indicating Clark may have been one of the men, said Officer Michael Pecha, a police spokesman. Clark was taken into custody just before 11:30 a.m., Pecha said.

Officers with the gang unit and members of the Metro Area Fugitive Task Force located Clark in a vehicle in an apartment complex parking lot at 137th and Harrison Streets. Clark's mother, Charlean Clark, 53, was in the vehicle at the time of the arrest, police said. She was arrested on suspicion of being an accessory to a felony and accused of harboring a fugitive.

The Rev. James Netusil was in the sacristy preparing for 11:30 a.m. Mass when the assault occurred, he said Tuesday. An usher rushed in and asked him for a towel to clean blood from the woman’s face.
