  • News

A multi-agency investigation into drug complaints in Atlantic City led to the arrests of six resident Thursday.

Atlantic City's Vice Unit joined with the DEA Atlantic City Resident Office, and the Liberty Mid-Atlantic DEA Atlantic County HIDTA task force to watch the areas of 1300 Baltic Avenue and the 1300 through 1600 blocks of Atlantic Avenue, Sgt. Paul Aristizabal said.

Distribution amounts of cocaine and heroin were seized along with more than $700 in cash believed to be from drug sales, Aristizabal said.

Taj Barker, 32, was also charged with violating a drug restraining order, which are used to keep those from areas where they are alleged to have already committed illegal activity.

Also arrested were Demitris Mallory, 24; Cinque Oliver, 19; Dashawn Mallory, 20; Kelly Traynor, 57, and Kelly Frazier, 54.

Most were released on summonses.

Barker was jailed on restraining order, which is his second violation in five months, court records show.

Demitris Mallory was jailed on warrants for failure to appear in Pleasantville court on driving-related violations.
