Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small said he will not resign after he was indicted for allegedly abusing his teenage daughter.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small stood defiant Wednesday afternoon and said he has no plans of resigning after being indicted by a grand jury on child abuse charges. Small spoke to reporters inside his office in City Hall hours after the Atlantic County prosecutor's office announced both he and his wife, La'Quetta Small, were formally indicted Tuesday on charges of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
''The governor didn't say I should step down. He said I should consider,' Marty Small said. 'Let me let the public and everyone know when my house was raided, I came back on the job. The day I was charged I went and got my lunch and came to work. Clearly, it's not a distraction. Clearly, we're doing a great job and we got all the love, respect, and support from the people of Atlantic City, which matters. I'm not worried about the outsiders.
