Dirt Biker Pleads Guilty In Center City Assault Incident

PHILADELPHIA — The dirt bike rider who was captured on camera smashing the rear windshield of a woman's vehicle then brandishing a firearm when confronted in Center City Philadelphia has entered guilty pleas to three charges.

Cody Heron, 27, of Philadelphia, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault of a victim less than 13 years old and possession of an instrument of crime Wednesday in court.

Heron was captured on camera walking away from his dirt bike and toward a car stopped in the road near City Hall on Oct. 1 during an unauthorized motor "meet-up" before leaping onto the back windshield and smashing it with his feet.

Video showed an object appearing to be a handgun fall from the Heron's pants as he jumps off the car. The driver, identified by ABC6 as Nikki Bullock, steps out and confronts the suspect, who pulls his gun on her and shoves her.

Heron then got back onto his bike and Bullock pushed him, knocking over him and his bike.

He drove off from the scene as Bullock got back to her car and picked up a small child before walking out of frame and leaving the vandalized car behind.

Authorities said Bullock's girlfriend and their two young children were in the car at the time.
Heron is charged with aggravated assault terroristic threats, tampering with evidence, reckless endangerment and more.

The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office said Heron tried to evade accountability by destroying evidence, going as far as using another person’s online profile to deflect attention from investigators.

Heron is scheduled for sentencing on June 5, court records show.
