  • Crime-Courts

A Philadelphia woman who was arrested last year after she spit on a Boardwalk store owner and threatened him with what turned out to be a fake gun has pleaded guilty to several charges.

Fatima Gadson, who also goes by Samantha Johnson, had 15 active warrants when she was arrested Aug. 20, after the altercation inside a store at 2519 Boardwalk.

She had a pending case from June 6, 2023, when she threatened a Claridge security guard with a knife. She was in possession of the knife when she was arrested a short time later.

Gadson, 34, pleaded guilty to third-degree counts of terroristic threats, possession of a weapon and aggravated assault.

She faces a three-year term when she is sentenced Aug. 29. She will have a year of credit at that time.

Gadson remains in the Atlantic County Justice Facility.
