A Pleasantville man was sentenced to three years in prison Thursday, after pleading guilty in two separate drug cases. According to BreakingAC.com, 32 year old Malik Waddell, was first arrested Sept. 25, 2024, after Atlantic City police saw him make multiple drug sales in the area of New York and Atlantic avenues. When police arrested Waddell, he had about 30 wax folds of heroin and fentanyl in a fanny pack. He was released on a summons.
Two months later, police again saw Waddell engaged in a drug deal around Renaissance Plaza.
He fled when police approached, jumping a fence and falling to the ground, according to the report.
Waddell was seen tossing three wax folds containing fentanyl in a nearby trash can as he ran.
