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.”
