Outlaw

The Resume

    (July 19, 1966-February 28, 1997)
    Born in Romania
    One of the assailants in the North Hollywood shootout (February 28, 1997)
    He and Larry Phillips, Jr. led police on a shootout for 44 minutes

Why he might be annoying:

    What an enormous last name!
    He was stopped by Glendale police in 1993 for speeding.
    A subsequent search of their vehicle—after Phillips surrendered with a concealed weapon—found two semi-automatic rifles, two handguns, over 1,600 rounds of 7.62 mm rifle ammunition, over 1,200 rounds of 9 mm and .45 caliber handgun ammunition, radio scanners, smoke bombs, improvised explosive devices, body armor vests, and three different California license plates.
    They were released from prison after serving more than 100 days.
    They robbed a Bank of America in nearby San Fernando and stole $1.5 million.
    Because they had more powerful weapons, it took longer for officers to bring the two robbers down.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He and Phillips were the only casualties from the shootout.
    The shootout was a lesson to equipping the LAPD with better weapons.
