Biker sentenced for attack on woman's car near City Hall – NBC10 Philadelphia

A motorcyclist accused of smashing the back of a woman's car near Philadelphia City Hall while her young children were inside, then pulling a gun on her, has been sentenced to one to four years in prison, according to court records.

Cody Heron, 27, pleaded guilty in February to two counts of aggravated assault as well as possession of an instrument of crime in the Oct. 1 attack. He was sentenced to one to four years in prison on one count and five years of probation on two other counts, according to court records.

Heron was part of a group of ATV, motorcycle and dirt bike riders who had gathered near City Hall and were around a sedan driven by a 23-year-old woman. A video from another vehicle that went viral showed a motorcyclist wearing a helmet leaving his bike to jump on the back of the sedan, smashing the window with the two young children sitting inside. What appears to be a handgun falls from his waistband and he then appears to brandish it at her as she gets out of the car, then headbutts and pushes her as she confronts him.

Defense attorney Justin Capek told the Philadelphia Inquirer in a statement Wednesday evening that his client “wholeheartedly accepts responsibility” and apologized to the woman and her young children.

Capek called the sentence “fair and just” for his client and added that it “does not preclude his ability to be rehabilitated.” He said Heron “looks forward to reentering society as a law-abiding citizen” and wants to “move beyond this aberrant scar on his legacy.”

Court documents say he will be “eligible/recommended” for the Department of Correction's “motivational boot camp program,” a six-month military-style program intended to reduce recidivism, and will also get a credit for time served.
