00:00Have you tried this new Glow Motion flavor from 5-Hour Energy?
00:02Oh yeah, I had mine this morning. Now we wait.
00:05For what?
00:05My superpowers.
00:07Dude, it glows under UV light. It's not radioactive.
00:11I was hoping it would make me a little bigger, if you know what I mean.
00:14Jesus.
00:22So if Chuck does go full cowboy.
00:25Yes.
00:25Like his Red Dead Redemption dreams.
00:28Oh my God. Please.
00:30You know he's going to be doing stuff like this.
00:31Helping the cops catch crooks.
00:33Oh yeah, for sure.
00:35You know. He'll be that guy, right?
00:36Yeah, he'll be that guy.
00:37Giddy up! I got him! I'll help you, boys!
00:39Listen, just make me a deputy.
00:41Make me a deputy. Make it official.
00:44A visitor on a horse in New Jersey helped police catch a hit-and-run suspect.
00:50I got him.
00:51In a small town there. Chuck's dream.
00:53Chuck's dream right here.
00:57Here's the story from Fox 29.
00:59The donkey over there. He's the guard.
01:02Meet Pascual Mucciolo, better known as PJ, in his Swedesboro home full of pets.
01:08From cows and goats to turkeys and chickens.
01:13PJ's got it all.
01:14I take good care of these animals.
01:15I don't know. The animals is what makes me happy. Keeps me sane.
01:18Especially his horses, which he often rides around, including in the streets of Philadelphia.
01:22My character looks different.
01:23With his crew, the Concrete Cowboys out of North Philly.
01:26The Concrete Cowboys is really who got me into riding.
01:29Made me love riding. Made me love horses.
01:31Which made it even tougher when one of his horses, Rusty, was recently hit and killed by a tractor trailer.
01:36My buddies called me up. I'm from Riverside, so they called me up and said,
01:40you might as well come out and go for a ride. You know what I mean? Clear your mind.
01:43But what he didn't expect during that ride was to witness a hit and run.
01:47I ended up seeing his car turn the corner and hit the old lady's car.
01:51Now, I don't know. I don't like when people hit old. You know what I mean?
01:54Like, don't mess with the elderly people.
01:56So, he hit the car, cracked the car up, looked me dead in my eyes, and pulled off.
02:01Well, that wasn't going to fly for PJ or his horse, Shiny.
02:03I knew they weren't going to stop. I already knew that.
02:07That's why I was ready to go get the tag.
02:09I don't know what they thought the horse wasn't going to catch them or something, but it did.
02:15Unfortunately, Shiny was getting some horse manicures.
02:18So, his sister, Penny, stepped in for the camera.
02:20Like, the way this one runs is more like that.
02:23The way Shiny would walk or run is like, he'll take like a thousand steps to go ten feet.
02:28You know what I mean?
02:29Oh, that's what you're saying? She would have got there fast.
02:31Yeah.
02:31But the former show horse got the job done,
02:34and the pair helped police in their investigation to track down the driver,
02:38something that still baffles the two responding officers.
02:41We're a small town. We deal with a lot.
02:44We try to be proactive as much as possible, but that was a first, that was a shocker for me, honestly.
02:48But one thing's for sure, the streets are now just a little bit safer,
02:52thanks to the heroic Swedesboro Cowboy.
02:54It's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. I never got this much attention.
02:57I didn't expect this much attention either.
02:59When y'all called me, I was like, wow.
03:01A lot of times people are always like, oh, I'm not going to call.
03:04Somebody else might have.
03:05But, you know, given the fact that he called us and was able to help us with that,
03:09I hope more people come forward and think like, oh, I might be somebody on a horse,
03:12but I can make a difference too.
03:14So, it was really cool to see.
03:15Reporting from Swedesboro, I'm Greg Payne, Fox 29 News.
03:19I fancy myself a little bit more of like a dark brooding gambler man who comes to town
03:26in a black cowboy hat.
03:28Not so much a wife-beater t-shirt with tattoos and white cowboy hat and curly hair underneath of it.
03:36Like a tiny cowboy hat.
03:38That's not my style. I'll tell you that.
03:40Not the real deal.
03:41That's not me.
03:42No.
03:43But you'd love to assist in a police investigation on horseback.
03:47Oh, man. My God.
03:48You'd love to join the concrete cowboys, right?
03:50Yes.
03:50What a cool game.
03:51Of course.
03:52Vigilante Chuck.
03:53Yeah.
03:55Regulators!
03:56We'd never hear the out of it.
03:57If he did this, if he helped the cops, that would catch.
04:01Every time I did a story, that reminds me of the time I helped the cops.
04:05That's exactly it.
04:06You guys, we all have to stop.
04:08We all know.
04:09No, like if I assist the cops in any way on horseback, the show's done.
04:13That's another reason for the show to be done.
04:15Like that time I helped the cops on horseback.
04:17Put it down.
04:18Put it down.
04:19I will not.
04:20No.
04:20I won't be able to stand myself.
04:25Like what it'll do to myself.
04:27Wait until we're done this show before you jump on horse.
04:29Yeah.
04:29Okay.
04:30And if you don't think at that point I go all in, like all in.
04:34Cowboy hat in here.
04:37The rustler gear.
04:38I'll be covered in dust.
04:40Oh, my God.
04:41Oh, man.
04:42Suburban cowboy.
04:44Horse right there.
04:45Mm-hmm.
04:46Cul-de-sac cowboy.
04:47That can be named.
04:49I don't want one.
04:50That's in the cul-de-sac safer here.
04:52You can't go all the way through.
04:54No, through traffic.
04:55Yeah.
04:55Whoa, whoa.
04:56Stop right there.
04:58Cul-de-sac cowboy.
04:59I could basically do this right now.
05:01The road don't go through.
05:04Turn it around.
05:05Stop, partner.
05:06Stop.
05:06Hey.
05:07Hey, partner.
05:09Don't use my driveway.
05:12Take it on out.
05:14Cul-de-sac cowboy.
05:16I love it.
05:17I love the idea.
05:18That's what the freak is.
05:20The cul-de-sac cowboy.
05:21Oh, man.
05:22Now, that's a news story.
05:25Keeping it real safe.
05:27Yeah.
05:27In the cul-de-sac.
05:29The news would show up.
05:30They'd be like, mildly challenged older man outside of his home in a cowboy outfit that
05:36he bought off of Amazon.
05:38Imagine the commentary of a radio show on you.
05:42Oh, my God.
05:42Oh, my God.
05:43Oh, my God.
05:47Well, it reminds me of when Stephen Colbert made fun of us because it's just so weird,
05:53so asinine.
05:54Yeah.
05:55That if I'm in a cowboy outfit and they show me I'm fatter than I am even now.
06:00Corralling people in your cul-de-sac.
06:02Stopping them.
06:03You know, stopping them.
06:05Cap gun.
06:07They just show you on the side.
06:08Oh, I'm going to boop.
06:09Yeah.
06:10I'm on, like, a hobble horse.
06:12Like, I don't have a real horse.
06:15So I got to get one of those hobble horse things.
06:17And I'm just, you know, riding.
06:21And by riding, I mean I'm sort of skipping.
06:23I'm just sort of skipping around my neighborhood.
06:26Like, oh, horse got a drink.
06:29I, like, reach my hobble horse down.
06:35Hey, is, you hear something?
06:41What are you doing, fella?
06:43You thinking of driving all the way down this street?
06:47Yeah, I was going to cut through just to get to the other side.
06:50Oh, you think you're going to get to 22-mile road on this road?
06:52Yeah, I was faster just to go right.
06:54Not on this, uh, here path, partner.
06:59Who in the hell do you think you are?
07:01I'm going to call this that cowboy.
07:03That's who I am.
07:04Are you challenged?
07:05A little bit.
07:06A little bit.
07:08Yep.
07:09You could say that.
07:10Some people have claimed that.
07:15Many a different radio show.
07:17I've claimed it, but I'm here to let you know.
07:21Please don't use my driveway or my neighbor across the street.
07:26Are you out here on horse all the time?
07:29It's technically a hobble horse.
07:32It's a horse's head made out of, like, a stuffed animal on a stick.
07:37Oh, I didn't want to tell you because I thought you thought it was real.
07:39Oh, easy boy.
07:44Higher silver.
07:47Oh, he is challenged.
07:48He is.
07:49I knew it.
07:49All right, challenge, man.
07:50We'll go.
07:51We'll turn around.
07:51We'll go the other way.
07:52Take it the other way.
07:53Yeah, we'll head out the other way.
07:55Mission accomplished, I guess.
07:56Mission accomplished.
07:57Thank you, Cul-de-sat Cowboy.
07:59Have a good one.
07:59Tip of the cap to you.
08:01Most of the time, he's not out there.
08:03He's sleeping or whatever.
08:04He's not out.
08:05You're not out there.
08:06He has to run out quickly in his underwear.
08:07Hey, hey, hey.
08:09Only half.
08:10Only half.
08:11I've got a cowboy shirt on, but then just jogging pants.
08:16And no shoes.
08:19Oh, you pants.
08:21Whoa, whoa.
08:22I've got the hobble horse.
08:23You ain't a cul-de-sat cowboy.
08:25Where's your outfit?
08:25Yes, I am.
08:26I sure as hell am.
08:27Where's your outfit?
08:28You caught me sleeping.
08:30You thought I was going to be down on the job.
08:33Afternoon nap.
08:34Whoa.
08:34Woo.
08:35Of course, it's a habit I'll never break.
08:40Oh, man.
08:41This street does not go all the way through.
08:44It's a cul-de-sat.
08:45I know there's no homes being built there yet, but you can't go through.
08:49Trust me.
08:50Oh, you're going to go ahead.
08:52You're going to find a dead end.
08:57They just go through.
08:58I tried to warn you.
08:59I tried to warn you.
09:00I tried to warn you.
09:03There's no signage.
09:04I don't have any good signage yet.
09:06I don't have any good signage yet.
09:07Run.
09:07Run.
09:08I am the signage.
09:11No exit.
09:12I have that sign.
09:13I have a little no exit sign.
09:15No exit sign.
09:16That hobble horse in one hand, no exit sign in the other.
09:21Oh, well.
09:22Your neighborhood's lucky to have you.
09:25There's no HOA here yet.
09:28Only me.
09:31Is that a shed?
09:32And the HOA is the hobby horse of annoyance that this guy rides.
09:38Yeah.
09:38Oh, man.
09:40Your New Balance have spurs on them, someone says.
09:42New Balance.
09:43That's amazing.
09:44You're a choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo.
09:48For comfort, I can't wear boots.
09:51I got a bad lower back.
09:55What do you expect?
09:56Jesus, cul-de-sac cowboy.
09:57Please put some effort into it.
09:59Track pants and New Balance with spurs?
10:02I put on those Halloween costume fake boots that just go over top of your normal shoes.
10:07Yeah.
10:08I'm like, these are fine.
10:12Not quite the cowboy image most people have.
10:15I have a rope, but I can't do anything.
10:17I can't do anything.
10:18I just throw it.
10:19It never catches anything.
10:22That poor challenge guy just throws that rope.
10:25It's real weird.
10:26Hey, look up right there.
10:27Oh, God.
10:28Oh, no.
10:29Uh-oh.
10:29He went full challenge.
10:30As I get older, as I get older, you'll go full challenge.
10:32Yeah, I know.
10:33I know.
