CHICAGO (CBS) — Robbing a man who turned out to be an "ultimate fighter" proved to be a bad decision for a convicted felon, who is now in bad shape as he is held on bond.
Police say around 11:30 p.m. Friday, Anthony Miranda, 24, walked up to a car parked at 55th Street and Kenneth Avenue, just a few blocks from Midway International Airport.
Miranda asked the driver for a lighter, and the driver said he didn’t have one. Then Miranda pulled a handgun and demanded that the driver hand over his money, police said.
Even after the driver complied and gave up some money, Miranda ordered him out of his car, police said.
