Timberlake admitted under oath yesterday that he and his two co-defendants outnumbered Mayren-Guzman and recklessly caused significant bodily injury to him.
After the entry of his guilty plea, Timberlake asked to be released and the Court noted, that while it appreciates his taking responsibility for his actions, he remained a danger to the community and will continue to be held without bail pending sentence.
Mayren-Guzman was reported missing on January 23, 2022, after last being seen at Centerfolds Cabaret.
His body was located on January 25, 2022 in the marsh area near the club by a volunteer from a search party.
The cause of Mayren-Guzman’s death was determined to be the result of hypothermia, drowning, and alcohol intoxication.
For the charge of Aggravated Assault, Timberlake is set to receive four years in New Jersey State Prison when he is sentenced on February 22, 2023.
His plea and sentence are contingent on both Garnell Hands and John Hands also entering into guilty pleas later this month.
The case was investigated by the Pleasantville Police Department and the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit.
