Law enforcement executed search warrants at Atlantic City mayor’s home, attorney says

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ — An attorney for Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small said law enforcement officers visited the mayor’s home Thursday morning to execute search warrants but would not release any further information, including whether anyone was in custody.

Edwin Jacobs confirmed that officers went to Small’s home with search warrants, but would not say what – or who – they were for.

“Search warrants are incredibly easy to obtain, and law enforcement doesn’t give someone the opportunity to give their side before serving them,” Jacobs said. “No one should read anything into this.”

Small did not respond to a text message left on his personal phone seeking comment.

It was not immediately clear which law enforcement agency(s) visited the mayor’s home. The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office did not respond to messages seeking comment. The FBI said it could not comment, and the attorney general’s office also declined to comment.
