Francisco Corriano


  • Crime-Courts

An Atlantic City man arrested at least five times in 10 months pleaded guilty to all his cases last week.

Francisco Corriano, 34, faces a five-year sentence in the cases that include two burglaries, shoplifting and drugs.

He was first arrested Nov. 6, 2023, for shoplifting from Boscov's in Egg Harbor Township. Corriano was fleeing the scene when police arrived.

He was charged on a summons and released.

A month later, Corriano was arrested in Atlantic City after police saw him involved in a drug deal on South Texas Avenue at about 10:40 a.m. Dec. 12, according to the report. He was accused of selling cocaine.

Corriano tried to run, but was detained, and again released on a summons.

On Jan. 11, Corriano was again seen involved in a drug deal on South Texas Avenue at about 7:35 p.m. This time, it was heroin, according to the charges.

Again, he was released on a summons.

Corriano broke into Breathe Salt Spa at the Tropicana around 6:20 p.m. May 25. He stole property and damaged items inside.

He was identified after an investigation, and arrested. He was then released on a summons.

Corriano was kept in jail after his final arrest in September, when he burglarized Tropicana's FireWater Saloon.

An employee told police that a man had entered the bar unlawfully and took several bottles of alcohol. With damages, the loss was estimated at more than $1,000.

He was arrested the next day, and has been jailed since Sept. 25.

Corriano will remain in the Atlantic County Justice Facility pending his sentencing, set for Jan. 10.
