MAYS LANDING, NJ – On Tuesday, December 17, 2024, Marty Small, Sr., 50, of Atlantic City, NJ was indicted by an Atlantic County grand jury for third-degree Witness Tampering. It is alleged that during the month of September 2024, while criminal charges against him were pending for abusing his juvenile daughter, J.S., the defendant asked his daughter to do him a favor and “twist up” the story she had previously told police about alleged abuse allegations she made against him specifically by asking her to state that she tripped and fell in her room when her head was injured.

This was in reference to an alleged incident on January 13, 2024, when Marty Small, Sr. is alleged to have hit his daughter multiple times in the head with a broom causing her to lose consciousness.
