Masked Illinois Man On Bike Gets A Taste Of Karma After Harassing Police

Do you believe in Karma? I didn't for a long time, but I definitely do now. After years of hearing about it and actually seeing some examples myself in real life, I do believe in it now. It's happened too many times to be just a coincidence.

My rule of thumb is not to mess with Karma because the payback is usually a lot worse. For example, someone robbing a church. Yeah, that person is going to have some very bad Karma coming their way. Life is hard enough without Karma, so why put yourself into a situation like that?

A couple of officers had a car pulled over for a violation. A random person stopped at the scene and started harassing the cops. They warned him to leave before he got arrested. The guy threatened the police that he would be back.

The suspect returned to the scene wearing a mask and riding a bicycle. He started harassing the cops again. When they went to arrest him, he took off trying to get away. Here's where Karma stepped in. The guy fell off his bike. Then, the officers took him to jail.

According to Patch...

A 36-year-old Joliet man named Michaelangelo Cano was arrested over the weekend on four counts of aggravated assault and one count of obstructing a peace officer.

 

Landeros said his fellow Joliet officers were conducting a traffic stop in the 1100 block of Clement Street when Cano drove his vehicle toward them.

 

He was ordered not to obstruct the traffic stop, yet he continued interfering, parking across from the officers while continuing to shout and making threats to return on his bicycle wearing a mask, stating he would "come back for you all," Joliet police allege.
