Atlantic City Police Seized and illegal ATV operating on the street and arrested the driver.
On July 5, 2025 at 9:50 PM, Chief James Sarkos and two officerswere on patrol during the Fourth of July weekend. The officers observed a group of ATV and dirt bike riders illegally driving on Pacific Avenue in an erratic manner. The officers, in an unmarked vehicle, followed the group to Albany and Winchester Avenues where one rider, Rashaun Blumfield, stopped at a gas station. As Blumfield was about to fuel up, the officers pulled into the gas station alongside the ATV. Chief Sarkos attempted to speak with Blumfield who immediately hopped back on the ATV and tried to drive away. Chief Sarkos was able to grab onto Blumfield with the ATV still moving forward and forced it towards the curb. Blumfield resisted arrest and broke free. He ran onto Albany Avenue where Deputy Chief Leonard gave chase. Blumfield ultimately surrendered and was taken into custody. The ATV was towed from the scene. The other riders fled the area.
