A 53-year-old St. Joseph man pleaded guilty Thursday to charges he hit his roommate in the head with a golf club.

“A person I was living with, I hit him with a golf club,” said Levester Harvey. “He said something that made me upset,” he said, but added about his response “I chose to do it the wrong way.”

Levester Harvey of St. Joseph will be sentenced in June. His lawyer asked the judge to reduce Harvey’s bail so he wouldn’t be evicted and lose all his belongings.

Bail was originally denied, then reduced to $7,500 surety. On Thursday Judge Kellogg reduced that to a $4500 signature bond, provided Harvey has no contact with the victim. Harvey will be sentenced on one class-e felony count of 3rd degree domestic assault on June 22.
