A.C. Councilman To Be Just Visiting

Earlier this week, an Atlantic City Councilman’s lawyer asked for DWI and related charges to be dropped since Atlantic City won’t turn over discovery information. Hmm, shocking, that’s how things work down there? Who knew.

A Press of Atlantic City article yesterday detailed just what Councilman Tim Mancuso was doing at the time of the alleged drunk driving:

Mancuso was arrested after celebrating the jailing of a rival who had just been charged in connection with the 2006 blackmail taping of fellow Councilman Gene Robinson. It remains unclear what he was doing on the beach in his city-issued vehicle at about 2:20 a.m., and who he was with.

Atlantic City should just be ruled by a king or czar or something; it would probably be much better for everyone. Mancuso’s lawyer says the Breathalyzer results aren’t his client’s — somehow — and that politicians are allowed to break the law and drive on the beach. In a shocker, Mancuso was re-elected last November.

Meanwhile, a rookie cop in Millville got into an argument with his wife and she fired his gun. He’s been suspended.
