Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small said a boardwalk store clerk charged with falsely claiming “young African American children” robbed his store did so as part of an ongoing issue involving merchants complaining about crime and calling for more policing of the boardwalk.
The clerk, Malik Awais, 26, of Egg Harbor Township, is facing charges of making a false report to police. He allegedly claimed individuals stole $100 in merchandise from H&A Fashions and caused over $5,000 worth of property damage something contradicted by surveillance footage, Deputy Chief James A. Sarkos said at a press conference the mayor held Wednesday.

Atlantic County Democratic Chair Awards the Line to Mayor Small By Insider NJ | March 1, 2021, 6:35 pm | in City Confidential
Atlantic County Democratic Committee Chairman Mike Suleiman today informed Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small that the incumbent mayor and his team will have the party line this year.
“I’m tremendously happy for my running mates and I to get the support of the committee chairman – someone who’s fair and not going to be pushed around by someone’s personal agenda. It’s about performing the job – not a vindictive agenda.”
The chairman likes the job Small is doing as mayor. But also, Suleiman’s reasoning for backing the incumbent went in part to impair the movements of a shared antagonist of both the chairman and the mayor: cross-pollinating operative Craig Callaway.
