Atlantic City man pleads guilty to two assaults and resisting arrest

Elijah Green, 24, faces a recommended three-year state prison term after admitting to attacking a staff member and, months later, the mother of his child, prosecutors said.

ATLANTIC CITY — An Atlantic City man has pleaded guilty to assaulting a staff member and, in a separate case, the mother of his child, then fighting with police who tried to arrest him, prosecutors said Thursday.

Elijah Green, 24, pleaded guilty Nov. 4 to third-degree aggravated assault, third-degree aggravated assault on a domestic violence victim and third-degree resisting arrest before Superior Court Judge Christine Smith, according to prosecutors.

Under the plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend a combined sentence of three years in state prison. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 15.

The first case began Feb. 18, when Atlantic City police were called to a report that a staff member was being assaulted, prosecutors said. The victim told officers that Green had thrown him to the ground and punched him in the face several times. Green was identified and charged.

On May 5, Atlantic City police went to a home for a report of domestic violence, according to prosecutors. A woman told officers she had been assaulted by Green, the father of her child. When officers tried to arrest him, Green used physical force to resist, prosecutors said.
