Khalif Chambers was sentenced on Monday, Oct. 23, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.

On Jan.  6, 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’ person 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, the prosecutor said.
