Overnight CMPD Officers arrested a tearful Sidney Cain (44) and charged her with felony death by vehicle and felony hit and run for running down and killing a pedestrian Michael Joseph Janik age 64, while driving impaired and leaving the scene refusing to give aid or render assistance.

Cain is being held in the Mecklenburg County Jail on a $50,000.00 secured bond.
She refused blood alcohol test so Officers sought and were granted a court ordered BAC.
This is the second of two pedestrian versus vehicle accidents within about a two span. Both the Barrington Drive accident and this one on Fourth Street were fatal pedestrian accidents in Charlotte yesterday.
According to court records Ms. Cain fled the scene leaving the victim Mr. Janik in the roadway. Additionally she also refused a sobriety test and therefore her North Carolina Drivers License has been revoked. Officers concluded that she was driving while impaired and her car has been reported as impounded as well.
Fleeing the scene of an accident is essentially taken as an admission of guilt and is always a bad look. This lack of impulse control is not shocking. The behavior of someone who you might expect to have dozens of prior arrests yet a review of court records shows nothing. So why run? One can only assume it is a cultural thing.
Update:
Ms. Cain posted bail and was released on Friday. On Saturday the funeral for Mr. Janik was held at St. Marks in Gastonia.
He attended Kent State University, where he earned a BS in Gerontology which is rather ironic. (Look it up)
After college, Mike embarked on a career in banking, first at Goodyear Bank in Akron, OH before relocating to the Charlotte, NC area in 1993 to work for First Union Bank, where he worked for over 30 years through its various transitions to become Wells Fargo. Mike left Wells Fargo in 2024 yet continued working part-time as a mixologist for the Levy Corporation as he had done since 2019.
That's right he was on his was home after working the Knight's game. No he wasn't drunk.
If it was a White dude her shit is cooked. Homeless Black dude she'll be out on Monday.
ReplyDeleteIf the name is correct then it’s a white dude and Wells Fargo VP and her black ass is indeed cooked!
ReplyDeleteIt is devastatingly correct.
DeleteEh not in Mecklenburg. She’ll somehow be viewed as the victim
DeleteSo why do we assume she’s drunk if there was no field sobriety test? And what culpability does the ‘pedestrian’ have for not avoiding walking in the way of this lady’s vehicle? I would run too, given how CMPD treats the accused. We cannot make assumptions, you know what that does to us all.
ReplyDeleteBecause he was a white dude who worked for Wells Fargo. She's cooked.
DeleteRead dumby Court Ordered BAC
DeleteI don’t trust a court ordered BAC. With NC history of forced sterilization on POC this is the impact of systemic racism. The deceased was stumbling in a street, not the sidewalk. She needs zero bail and a real long look at charges dropped.
Delete1502: you gonna feel the same way when someone mows down those dudes riding wheelies on their bikes in the middle of the street?
DeleteI doubt it. So grow up. You don't run over people, flee the scene, and then blame the pedestrian.
There’s a reason jaywalking is illegal. You get run over. Add to it this man being drunk and who knows what’s he was doing. You flee because you’re scared. The system makes us scared. Your privilege keeps you from recognizing that. Free on bail, you can see she is remorseful.
Delete“Systemic racism”. People like you contribute nothing positive to society. Do the world a favor and delete yourself
DeleteYea, you and your Real ID loving Jim Crow advantaged butt wish we deleted ourselves. Hope they call my grandma for that jury.
DeleteIf you can’t tell someone’s impaired when they’re stumbling around, reek of alcohol and hit/run someone they just killed, you’re a dumbass. But judging my the intellect of your comments already we already know you’re a dumbass
DeleteSo why is it that CMPD took 3 days to release this information and yet CP knew this less than 12 hours after her arrest?
ReplyDeleteAs good as the LEC and dispatch? Seems a lot of tail to be had there too. Probably not as hot but tail is tail.
ReplyDeleteWrong thread bub
DeleteCedar not sure if you knew this but she didn't have a license any license North Carolina or out of State.
ReplyDeleteKinda hard to revoke a DL if someone doesn't have one.
DeleteNot a shock with the new requirements for real id. Many in my community don’t have a ‘license’. This is a license to supress votes. Years ago my people had to wear tags to signify their master let them go to town as well. Licenses need to be free and accessible to all, not just those who are privileged by low insurance rates.
DeleteLet this poor lady free.
Uneducated idiot ^
DeleteIt is so sad that people of color don't have enough smarts to be able to figure out how to get an ID. Most apparently don't know who their parents are and don't have birth certificates. Few of these former slaves don't even know when they were born. The white man has oppressed them so long that they are still on the rule from the fugitive slave bounty hunters.
DeleteLook up generational racism folks
DeleteId laws have been used to keep POC in their places. Whites use them to exclude them from exercising their rights: the poll tax and drivers license fees plus insurance requirements. From using spaces where they have a right to be: trespassing and rioting charges. And to publicly humiliate and shame our people: stop and search. All of these examples are firmly written in history as systematic racism.
DeleteHaving a drivers license is a right, not a privilege. I’m sorry this man stumbled drunk in the middle of the road, but do not blame this poor lady for not having the ID that our racist CMPD demands she show at their call. Be better CMPD
Privilege in NC, if you don’t like it move away, which we’d all prefer you do. As for your other statement of ignorance, it’s more so people like yourself can’t commit further crime such as fraud like the other majority of crime you commit.
DeleteOh, I can’t forget….to avoid fraud. This is the modern version of forcing us to either use YOUR bank, or to have to go without. We had Black owned banks and Jim Crow killed them. No state ‘ID’ needed there, our names carried in our community.
DeleteMy people need to wake up and rise up. If enough minorities refuse to go along on the grand jury and ultimately the jury, this lady can get on with the healing and grieving process.
Hey retard, you should actually educate yourself instead of pleading so hard on how you’re a victim when any shortcomings you have are from your own incompetence. No one sympathizes with you loser.
DeleteDo I have to get an N.C. REAL ID driver license or ID card?
DeleteNo. N.C. REAL ID licenses and ID cards are completely optional.
Beginning May 7, 2025, however, having an N.C. REAL ID can make it more convenient if you frequently fly or visit military bases, nuclear sites, federal prisons, federal courthouses or other federal facilities.
If you don’t want or have an N.C. REAL ID, don’t worry. You will still be able to fly and visit these facilities. You will just need to provide additional identification, along with your standard license or ID.
Will I need an N.C. REAL ID to drive, vote, go to the post office or do other things I would do with a traditional driver license or ID?
No. You will still be able to drive, vote, go to the post office and do anything else you normally do.
N.C. REAL ID isn’t mandatory but will make it more convenient when you board commercial flights, or visit military bases, nuclear sites, federal prisons, federal courthouses or other federal facilities.
If you don’t have an N.C. REAL ID, you’ll still be able to fly and visit these facilities. You will just need to provide additional identification, along with your standard ID.
The above is straight from the NCDMV website. So you can still drive, and vote no matter what race creed or color you may be. So there is no poll tax, no keeping anyone from exercising their right to vote. So quit playing the “I’m a poor “person of color”. Driving is not a right it is a privilege.
Putting up barriers is the definition of racism. You may never go to a federal prison but that is a place many of us go for important holidays and family gatherings
DeleteBoth parties are at fault. Drunk needs to stay off road. The unlicensed driver needs to stay off road. That why we have laws.
ReplyDeleteYou clearly don’t understand what pedestrian means. Read a book.
DeleteSo can anybody tell me which Lt has nudes floating around? And who to ask for them?
ReplyDeleteCMPD has a behavioral technician that can tell you if you ask her.
Delete@1011 lol
DeleteIs it safe to return to Bojangles in Creek?
ReplyDeleteOhhh hell went in there one day…. Total CF people waiting, employees arguing total shit show
DeleteWent in around 8pm. Out of chicken, out of biscuits. Franchise owner needs a new manager or just close the dang place
DeleteI went in Popeyes on Abermarl and a black lady started screaming at me.
DeleteCan we have more swift drama? Those were good read
ReplyDeleteI read that, still never heard of her or half the dudes listed. Who cares. Let’s ask some real questions, when is JJ leaving, who’s gonna take over, is Amy gonna get promoted, why is brass afraid of their own shadow and afraid to say no to these stupid ideas, why can’t the department fill vacancies when we preach about career development, why are we gonna barely get a raise, why can’t we wear ball caps, why can’t we take vacations, why are there still community coordinators when that can be a civilian job, why do the retarded crash crews have trucks but my Explorer has over 120,000 miles, why does the department send “random” gifts to people but not everyone gets one? DOGE the city of Charlotte!
DeleteCmpd’s been garbage since JJ and is beyond repair. Lateral somewhere else like I did, the pay isn’t much more, if any when you factor in the better benefits offered and no shit meck co court
DeleteA better question is how did she test higher than all the men around here???
Delete1340, if you tested well then you wouldn’t be working here. They screen for smarts and railroad it out. An officer cannot be smarter than the supervisor, which is how someone like that gets promoted so highly on a list.
DeleteMajority of rank here have no idea about anything except how to kiss ass, know nothing of search and seizure or basic police work. How can you rule on a board for pursuits or use of force when you’ve never been involved in one? Trash
DeleteBrass def afraid of shadow
DeleteCoordinators and SRO are disabled people. They won’t use their guns or drive to priority 1.
Delete2146, it’s been that way for 15 years. Leave that psycho girl out of this.
ReplyDeleteKinda hot tho
DeleteThey can’t put her around us.
DeleteWe created this mess when we tolerated the corruption in the past. The lazy people were able to exist until they got promoted. Without outputs to jobs, the welfare climate took over our offices and lowered morale. The off duty jobs are the only thing keeping this PD afloat.
ReplyDeleteAs the Sunday blooms, it’s important to realize that we have eliminated so many thieves and cowards at this agency. Let’s not look past all the hard work we have put in this place.
ReplyDeleteWe lost a bunch of trash to retirement too
