SUPERIOR Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho has scheduled the bench trial of Shanguo Zhang for Oct. 18, 2021 at 10 a.m.
Zhang, 43, is accused of shattering a ports police vehicle window.
Judge Camacho also scheduled a revocation hearing on the same date and time for Zhang’s previous case in which he pled guilty to spraying paint on a police K-9 vehicle parked at the Department of Public Safety central office.
For his latest case, Zhang is charged with vandalism and disturbing the peace.
According to court documents, Zhang, on June 15, 2021, damaged, destroyed or vandalized public property belonging to the Commonwealth Ports Authority Ports Police Department, to wit: broke its vehicle window.
Zhang also deprived a police officer’s right to peace and quiet, to wit: in the presence of a police officer the defendant struck a glass window with a rock, court documents added.
Zhang is represented by Assistant Public Defender Vina Seelam while Assistant Attorney General Steven Kessel represented the government.
In March 2021, Judge Camacho sentenced Zhang to serve six months in prison, with the first 15 days to be served day for day without the possibility of parole, early release, weekend release or other similar programs after the defendant pled guilty to tampering with a vehicle.
The judge gave Zhang 12 days’ credit for time served, but the defendant was also placed on a six-month probation after serving his sentence.
In July 2020, Zhang was arrested for criminal mischief and disturbing the peace after damaging the glass doors at the governor’s office.
