Threatening Ronald Reagan
In 1984 Angelo spread a little rumor in organized crime circles a few days before he and John Gotti were spotted by United States Secret Service agents and New York City Police Department (NYPD) detectives eating at the Sheraton Centre Hotel in Manhattan. President Reagan was coming to the hotel that day to address at state Republican Party meeting, and the president's protectors told Angelo and John that they would feel more comfortable if they left before his arrival. Gotti and Ruggiero were extremely proud of the fact that they intimidated the Secret Service and the NYPD as being potentially harmful to President Ronald Reagan. John and Angelo went and made sure everyone in the Gambino crime family knew about the incident.
