The Atlantic City Police Department arrested a man with a handgun while investigating a road rage incident.
On February 10, 2025, at 11:46 AM, patrol officers responded to the first block of north Arkansas Avenue in reference to occupants of a vehicle reporting another driver threatened to shoot them and a handgun was observed. Officer Heriberto Barrios-Gomez confirmed the information with the occupants. The threats came after they refused to allow the man to merge while driving.
Officer Barrios-Gomez was able to review surveillance footage from a nearby convenience store and obtain the license plate of the suspect’s vehicle. Officer Matthew Schmidt located the vehicle in the 3800 block of Atlantic Avenue. The driver, Joel Suero, was positively identified as the suspect and arrested. A loaded handgun was found in the vehicle and Suero was in possession of eight ecstasy pills.
ARRESTED: Jose Suero, 40, of Atlantic City.
CHARGES: Unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, possession of hollow-point ammunition, terroristic threats, and possession of CDS.
Suero was remanded to the Atlantic County Justice Facility. These charges are merely an accusation and not proof of guilt. In all criminal cases, a charged defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
