Shawn P. Applewhite, 25, of Marlton, demanded the victim’s money and jewelry, but he stood up and fought him off, an indictment returned by a state grand jury in Trenton says.
A bystander also tried to help subdue Applewhite, who ran off before a Bally’s Hotel and Casino security supervisor and officer grabbed him, it says.
The indictment, which charges him with robbery and weapons possession, was secured by Deputy Attorney General Katelyn Waegener of state Division of Criminal Justice’s Specialized Crimes Bureau following an investigation by the New Jersey State Police Casino Gaming Bureau, Acting Attorney General Andrew J. Bruck said Monday.
