Mayor Small Issues Statement After Man Was Found Inside a City Hall Office Monday Morning

Atlantic City, N.J. (October 2, 2023) – Atlantic City Police are investigating after a man was discovered inside a City Hall office this morning, then taken into custody. Atlantic City Police will be providing more information on this matter.

City of Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small, Sr. has issued the following statement:

 “Kudos to the swift response by the City of Atlantic City Divisions of Youth, Senior, Multicultural Affairs and Recreation who alerted me right away, this morning, when they discovered an individual was inside their office. The Atlantic City Police Department arrived at City Hall shortly after, immediately taking the man into custody without incident. There was damage to the office space, however nobody was hurt, which is the most important thing. I want to say how inappropriate, messy and downright wrong it was for longtime, do-nothing City Councilman George Tibbitt to take this time to become a political opportunist. He probably spends three hours a month in this building, however someone alerted him to what happened, and he showed up to take pictures of an active crime scene and send them to fraudcaster Harry Hurley in an attempt to make this administration look bad. However, the Small administration will continue to be proactive to ensure unfortunate incidents like the one this morning will not take place in the future. “
