A California sheriff’s office released body camera footage showing a deputy-involved shooting of a man who was riding a bike before wielding a cleaver and claiming to be the Antichrist.
“I’m putting the kickstand down, bro. I’m [the] Antichrist,” Kenneth Scott Wallis told a deputy with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department on Nov. 12, according to video of the scene.
Authorities said that a deputy from the Cabazon Station stopped Wallis at about 3:30 p.m. that day in an unincorporated area of Riverside County as he biked down the wrong side of the street, Fox 11 reported. The deputy was aware Wallis had an active felony arrest warrant when he stopped him.
Video footage released by the sheriff’s office this week shows the deputy exiting his vehicle and approaching Wallis, alerting him that biking down the wrong way of the street is illegal. The deputy also asked Wallis if he was in possession of any weapons.
