Khalif Chambers pleaded guilty to the charges on Monday, Sept. 11, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.
Under the terms of his plea agreement, Chambers is expected to be sentenced to seven years in New Jersey State Prison with 42 months of parole ineligibility under the Graves Act.
On Jan. 6, 2023, an officer from the Atlantic City Police Department was on routine patrol when he saw a vehicle obstructing traffic. Following a motor vehicle stop, Chambers was identified as the passenger in the vehicle. A drug detection canine positively alerted to the presence of narcotics in the vehicle which led to a search of the vehicle and the recovery of a loaded handgun under Chambers’ seat. A search of Chambers led to the recovery of approximately one ounce of crack cocaine and cash. During his guilty plea, Chambers admitted he intended to sell the cocaine.
Chambers is expected to be sentenced on Oct. 23 and he remains incarcerated at the Atlantic County Justice Facility
