Law enforcement officials were at the home of Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small on Thursday, sources told NBC10.
The sources said members of the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office were at Small’s home on Presbyterian Avenue though it remains unclear why they were there. An Atlantic County court representative also said they have no documents related to Mayor Small or his wife, Laquetta Small, who is also the superintendent of Atlantic City public schools.
Photos obtained by NBC10 show the road blocked off near the mayor’s home.
“They were just blocking this street,” a neighbor told NBC10. “My son had to go to work. He went that way. Somebody lives here. She couldn’t get in so she went straight around. So I didn’t know what’s going on.”
