Parolee pleads guilty in home invasion
NORWICH – A parolee pleaded guilty to felony attempted assault in Chenango County Court Friday. He’d been arrested for attacking a Norwich woman in March and was later accused of a mugging in Oneida County.
In March, the Norwich Police Department was searching for 26-year-old Steven A. Shanholtzer, who was out on parole, for entering a home in the City of Norwich and assaulting a female victim he had a prior personal relationship with.
Shanholtzer was arrested by the Village of Herkimer Police Department March 19 after he allegedly mugged a victim around midnight. Following his arrest, officers reported Shanholtzer refused to cooperate with processing and attempted to mislead police about his identity.
The Herkimer Police charged him with second degree robbery, third degree assault, obstructing government administration, false impersonation, resisting arrest and petit larceny.
What the department didn’t know at the time was that Shanholtzer was on the run from the Norwich City Police Department and the New York State Division of Parole for a violent felony he had allegedly committed just four days earlier.
The Norwich Police requested a warrant for Shanholtzer’s arrest after responding to a incident at 1 a.m. March 15 in the City of Norwich.
District Attorney Joseph McBride said Shanholtzer attacked the female victim in her home, causing serious injury. He did not disclose the extent of the woman’s injuries, but said they were enough to justify a felony-level charge because there was “a threat against life or injury risking permanent disfigurement.”
Shanholtzer was also charged with another felony, second degree burglary and harassment over the incident by the Norwich PD.
He pleaded guilty to attempted assault, an E class felony, Friday before Chenango County Court Judge W. Howard Sullivan and was sentenced to 2 to 4 years in state prison.
McBride said Shanholtzer was a predicate felon and that his case in Onieda County was still pending.
“Mr. Shanholtzer absolutely needs to be removed from our streets,” McBride told the court.
