An Atlantic City man who was arrested with guns and drugs pleaded guilty to two counts of certain persons not to possess a weapon.
Joaquin DeJesus, 53, was on release pending sentencing in a drugs and guns case when he was arrested in August with guns and drugs.
DeJesus pleaded guilty in that case and was released May 10, against the state's objection.
But he was taken into custody Aug. 16, outside the Sheraton Hotel, where he was found with cocaine and $1,505 in cash.
A search of his room led to a 9 mm handgun and an additional 4½ grams of cocaine and about $6,000 in cash from drug sales.
DeJesus' plea calls for eight years with five years of parole ineligibility.
He is scheduled to be sentenced May 23.
