An Atlantic City man who recently ran for City Council is now jailed after allegedly threatening a woman with a knife while she was holding her infant child.
But on Friday, the alleged victim told BreakingAC she does not support the charges and has moved to have them dropped.
Aaron Carrington, 39, was in the woman's home Tuesday, when he became agitated, got a knife from the kitchen and threatened to kill her, Lt. Kevin Fair said.
She was able to flee to a family member's home on Reading Avenue, where police responded at 11:09 p.m., according to the report.
Carrington fled before officers arrived. An investigation led to a warrant for Carrington's arrest.
Shortly after 8 a.m. Wednesday, he surrendered himself to officers at the Public Safety Building.
Carrington was jailed on charges of terroristic threats, endangering the welfare of a child, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
Carrington ran for City Council in the primary. He also made a video that shared his journey from prison to politics.
