An Atlantic County judge sentenced a man to serve jail time for a violent stabbing in Atlantic City in the spring of 2022.
Officials say Alejandro Navarette-Gonzalez, 25, from Pleasantville, was sentenced today to 10 years in New Jersey State Prison for the April 3, 2022, stabbing of victim, D.A., at the Los Compadres Bar in Atlantic City.
The defendant will be required to serve 85% of the 10-year sentence before he is eligible for parole.
