He stated that after it came to rest, some of the guys in the vehicle made a break for it … but he didn’t stop them because he was worried they might be “armed and dangerous.” He told us though, when one of the guys struck a neighbor who had confronted them, he stepped in.
Cejudo said he grabbed the guy, threw him to the ground, put his hands behind his back and “slapped him a little bit.” He said the man should be grateful for it all, too, because he’s adamant if he hadn’t done what he did — his neighbors would have killed the guy.
Cejudo says two of his neighbors had guns on their person and they were ready to shoot. In fact, at one point, he says one of his neighbors cocked their firearm and screamed, “You move motherf****er, you’re dead.”
The suspect — later ID’ed by cops as 22-year-old Angel Cota — was ultimately taken into custody and booked on several charges … including DUI and assault.
“Luckily, nobody was hurt,” Cejudo told us. “I hope this kid learns his lesson. And I think the best way to learn your lesson is to do time. And really figure out who the hell you are and what you want in life.”
