“Joel Morris stole the camera and high-tailed it out of the room. One thing led to another. I ended up being assaulted after retrieving the camera but now, Mr. Morris is going to have to show up on Sept. 12, right around the corner from here in Superior Court, because that theft charge is an indictable third-degree crime in the state of New Jersey,” he said.

A CNN representative did not immediately return request for comment.
