Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small addressed why police raided his home last week during a press conference Monday morning at City Hall Council Chambers.

The search warrant on Thursday was served in connection to a "personal family matter," according to Small.

Small's attorney called the execution of the search warrants aggressive. However, the prosecutor responded and said the officers involved were nothing but professional and respectful.
