Man admits to breaking into home with a knife

NORWICH – A man admitted to getting high, breaking into a home, and threatening a victim with a knife in Chenango County Court earlier this week.

Christopher Bono pleaded guilty to first-degree burglary, a class B felony, after telling the court that on January 9, 2020 within the Town of Plymouth, he entered a dwelling with an intent to commit a crime inside.

When asked about the incident in court, Bono said he was riding as a passenger in his significant other’s car at the time of the incident when they noticed that a victim’s door was open.

He said that he entered the building with someone else, but said he couldn’t remember what kind of knife he used to threaten the victim inside. He added that while inside he stole a cordless v-tech phone.

“To be honest I was under the influence, and the exact details escape me,” said Bono. “It was some kind of silver and black knife.”

Bono admitted that he didn’t have permission to gain access to the building at that time.

Chenango County District Attorney Michael Ferrarese asked Bono if he would be willing to name the other person who assisted him in the burglary, and Bono said no.

“I’m not willing to do that, and if that’s what’s going to happen it’s a deal breaker for me,” Bono added.

Chenango County Court Judge Frank Revoir Jr., also spoke during the proceeding, and listed a number of charges Bono was previously convicted of.

“He was previously convicted in third-degree unlawful manufacturing in 2016” said Revoir. “He was also convicted in second-degree criminal mischief on June 28, 2012.”

Bono admitted to both of the convictions, and as part of his plea deal charges against him in the Norwich City Court will be dropped.

Revoir said the sentencing was set tentatively for 9:30 a.m. March 5 in person at the Chenango County Courtroom.
