Whatever Happened To The Suspected Burglar Who Was Tackled By Sacramento Cop?

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — It was the takedown of the year.

CBS13's cameras were rolling as a suspected burglar in Land Park tried to make a getaway on a stolen bike.

Sacramento Police officer Paul Curtis wasn't going to let that happen, tackling the escaping suspect in a dramatic CBS13 video.

So whatever happened to Michael Lavelle Kennedy, the suspected burglar on the receiving end of that tackle?

After that February incident, he was arrested again five short months later, accused of shoplifting on Truxel Road in Natomas. He was charged with burglary, robbery and a probation violation.

He's currently out of jail.

As for the officer with the textbook takedown? He's still keeping our streets safe. No promotion, no Oakland Raiders or San Francisco 49ers tryout, but you can bet that piece of video got him a whole lot of attention.
