Philadelphia police arrested Cody on Wednesday, October 4, and later
charged him with possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly
endangering another person, and multiple counts of aggravated
assault.
He was arrested at his residence where officers reportedly found the
bike, helmet, and the 9mm gun allegedly used in the incident, where
he attacked Nikki Bullock and her two young children on Sunday,
October 1.
At a hearing on Wednesday, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry
Krasner reportedly requested Heron be held on $5 million bail, but a
judge set it for 10% of $2,500,000.
Why did Cody Heron attack Nikki Bullock?
Cody was taken into custody after assaulting Bullock in an intense
dispute on Sunday when he riding with a group of ATV and dirt bike
riders in the area of City Hall, according to Daily Mail.
According to surveillance footage, the dispute allegedly sparked
after a group of ATV, motorcycle, and dirt bike riders surrounded
23-year-old Bullock's Sedan.
At one point, the mother was seen exchanging furious words with a
biker, who pulled aside her car. She told NBC10 that Heron first
charged at her after she tried to change lanes around the horde of
bikers.
"They're not paying attention to lanes," she said, adding, "They're
just doing whatever. So I'm turning in the lane and he just hits the
side of the car."
As the situation escalated, the rider believed to be Heron, started
physically attacking Bullock's car, with her two kids, aged 2 and 5,
sitting in the back seat. He climbed up on the trunk and took the
time to jump many times and smash the back window
Heron's brazen act prompted Burke to exit the car and confront the
man head-on. "He jumped up here with two feet. He stepped his first
foot down. Didn't work, so, then he was like... and, went through,"
she recalled of the now-viral clip.
During the altercation, Heron even appeared to drop a gun that had
been held at his waist before briefly pointing the weapon at the
mother.
As they jawed further, Heron allegedly headbutted Bullock, who
shoved the motorcyclist right before he fled.
She explained to FOX29 Philadelphia that the incident occurred while
she and her children were out delivering meals for Uber Eats.
"I'm just grateful that my kids are okay. There's not a scratch on
them. It was just the simple fact that I had kids in the car. I just
wanted to protect them, honestly," she said.
Internet reacts to Cody Heron's arrest
The news of Heron's arrest has garnered immense social media
attention, with one user saying, "This just made my day 𥹠that video
got me SO mad I thought he got away."
"If he is found guilty and is the guilty one, I hope he gets at
least 20 years - it's time to send a message," a second user
asserted.
"So happy he was apprehended. Kudos to the Philadelphia police
force," a third user rejoiced while another said, "Lock him up throw
away the key! High bail for all criminals is a must."
However, there were also users who speculated if Heron's race was a
motive for the high-price bail. "I think we all know that if he had
been non-white he would have been on a much lower bond. He deserves
to go to jail, but for his crimes, not his skin color," one user
said.
"Why don't they charge everyone else like that? ð", one wrote.
"Good to know the law works for certain types of people in Philly. I
bet Krasner goes after him to the full extent," one more asserted.
