Employees of a Westport Avenue pet shop where Bassett worked were the ones to call police when he drunkenly showed up and wouldn't leave, but eventually climbed into the ceiling of a next door business before fleeing.

The Advocate writes that Police charged Bassett with third-degree criminal mischief, third-degree criminal trespass, third-degree assault and second-degree threatening. He was held in lieu of a $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on July 29.
