Whitmore was accused of sneaking into the loading dock of One Maritime Plaza about 5 a.m. on July 15, 2021, where he tried to steal a motorcycle belonging to one of the employees.
When intercepted by security workers, he took an orange construction vest and foreman’s hardhat and pretended to be an employee, prosecutors said.
Police were called to remove Whitmore, but he resisted arrest by thrashing on the ground and biting an officer in the leg, prosecutors said.
Whitmore is set to be sentenced on Feb. 1.
