The Atlantic City Police Department arrested a man and woman who had been wanted since early December following an investigation.
On December 3, detectives conducted a court authorized residential and vehicle search warrant in the 400 block of South Carolina Avenue. The investigation was initiated after detectives received information regarding the distribution of narcotics by 42 year old Jameel Stephens and 25 year old Shamera Dunston-Marrero.
During the execution of the search warrants, detectives recovered more than 1.34 pounds of cocaine, 21 grams of heroin, more than two ounces of MDMA, more than $16,000 in cash, and drug paraphernalia used to distribute narcotics. On January 2, 2025, Detective Ermindo Marsini, assisted by the Atlantic County Sheriff’s Office, located Stephens and Dunston-Marrero in Pleasantville and took them in custody.
