Thug accused of smashing car's rear window with kids in back seat, pointing gun at their mom, head-butting her pleads guilty

The biker accused of stomping and smashing a car's rear window on a Philadelphia street last fall when children, ages 2 and 5, were in the back seat and then pointing a gun at their mother and head-butting her after she confronted him pleaded guilty Wednesday, the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office said.

Cody Heron, 27, during a pre-trial status hearing pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated assault and one count of possession of an instrument of crime, officials said, adding that the DA's office announced Heron's conviction Thursday.

What's the background?

Authorities said Heron and fellow bikers and drivers jammed traffic outside City Hall on Oct. 1 during an unauthorized "meet-up."

Nikki Bullock, the mother in question, told WCAU-TV shortly after the ordeal that she was delivering food with her girlfriend and their two children when the assailant hit her car.

"They’re not paying attention to lanes. They’re just doing whatever. So I’m turning in the lane, and he just hits the side of the car," Bullock told WCAU, adding that she argued with the biker afterward.

She noted to the station the biker at that point took things to another level, hopping up on her car's back bumper and stomping on the rear window before jumping high and smashing through the window with both feet.

After Bullock exited the car to confront the biker, the biker pointed a gun at her. Bullock told the station, "It was just, like, it was a little gun, and at that point, my windshield was already broken — so, what was he really going to do to me, for real?"

She continued trying to get in the biker's face, and the biker — who was wearing a helmet — head-butted her and shoved her. The DA's office confirmed that Heron smashed the car's window, head-butted the victim, and brandished a firearm at her.

Bullock still didn't back down, and video shows her shoving the biker back — and he falls sideways along with his two-wheeled ride.

Anything else?

The DA's office said Heron tried to evade authorities by destroying evidence and "even using another person’s online profile to deflect attention from investigators." Heron's sentencing is scheduled for June 5, authorities said.
