Marie Steinburg says she was just yards away from 23-year-old Charles Edward Babb on Monday. The Edenton Police Department had warned that Babb was considered potentially armed and dangerous. Steinburg said she remained calm when Babb proceeded to jump out of her car.
“He looked so cold and so scared. I thought, well, I’m not going to try and provoke him. I’m going to try and be very, very nice and pull the mother act on him, like I would with my own kids,” said Marie.
Steinburg says she offered to go grab Babb a coat, but just moments later he took off down the driveway. That’s when she ran back inside the home, called up to her husband Bob, and they called 911. The Edenton Police Department captured Babb shortly after nearby.
