Ocean City Man Broke Woman's Finger, Then Caught With Drugs: Prosecutor

OCEAN CITY, NJ — An Ocean City resident admitted to breaking a woman's finger and possessing cocaine near a government building in two separate incidents, the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office said.

Jordan Gerald Wilson, 25, pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance, third-degree aggravated assault on a domestic violence victim, and second-degree possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance within 500 feet of a public building.

The assault charge stems from a Nov. 22, 2024 incident in an Atlantic City home. A woman told police that Wilson had thrown her to the ground and slammed a door on her finger, causing it to break, authorities said. Wilson fled the scene before police arrived, officials said.

Then, on Dec. 15, 2024, police found Wilson in the area of Atlantic City Hall with more than one ounce of cocaine on his person. He was taken into custody on scene and charged accordingly.

Wilson's sentencing is set for March 13, 2026, where he faces five years in prison.
