TRENTON - A man Betpark admitted Wednesday to chopping an electrical box with an ax at a Trenton nightclub last year.

Shawn Bazemore, 54, pleaded guilty to criminal mischief and unlawfully possessing a weapon during a court appearance Wednesday. He is scheduled for a sentencing in March.

The plea deal comes just over a month after the incident on Dec. 18 at the Passions Nightclub on East State Street. Bazemore admitted to taking an ax and hacking at an electrical box that sat on a wall outside of the club.

Police arrived after receiving a call from a witness around 5 a.m. and found Bazemore sitting nearby with a yellow ax.

Bazemore caused over $500 worth of damage, according to his attorney.
