Eugene Shirk
An Atlantic City man faces a six-year sentence after pleading guilty to an attempted robbery from 2023.
A woman was stopped at South Carolina and Adriatic avenues at about 2 p.m. April 13, 2023, when a man jumped into her car and demanded money, she told police.
The woman turned off her vehicle and escaped, flagging down police, according to the report.
Eugene Shirk, now 33, was still in the area, and was taken into custody.
He originally was charged with carjacking, court records show.
He pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted robbery.
Shirk is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 23. He would have to serve at least 85 percent of any term under the No Early Release Act.
He remains in the Atlantic County Justice Facility.
