"Bird Road Rudy" To Be Sentenced On Gun Charges

MIAMI (CBS4) ― A reputed gang leader who taunted South Florida police to come and get him on an Internet video faces sentencing by a federal judge.

Rudy Villanueva, known as "Bird Road Rudy" has admitted he is a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.

Villanueva faces a maximum of 10 years in prison. He and another man, Anthony Logan, were arrested in January after a video was posted on the popular internet site YouTube that showed them with an AK-47 assault rifle and other weapons.

They also made threats against the Miami-Dade police department's gang unit and challenged the police to come and arrest them. Police did just that.

Logan also pleaded guilty to weapons charges.
