Unfortunately, crime in the coastal New Jersey gambling town of Atlantic City is still in the news. The glitzy and glamorous resorts line the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk and surrounding maria area. However, the town itself still has crime-related problems.
One recent crime had nothing to do with the Atlantic City streets. It actually took place in a hotel room of one of those swanky casino resorts. As reported by the local news source close to PlaySlots4RealMoney.com, a woman recently stabbed her husband and herself.
