More than a dozen disciplinary actions involving Atlantic City police officers were disclosed in New Jersey’s annual major discipline report, including lengthy suspensions, criminal allegations, policy violations, and misconduct investigations.
Several Atlantic City Police Department officers received suspensions ranging from seven days to 180 days during 2025, while two officers were identified in cases involving pending criminal charges, according to records released by the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office.
The disciplinary actions were included in the state’s annual major discipline report, which requires law enforcement agencies to publicly disclose suspensions exceeding five days, terminations, and demotions.
Key Points
• Multiple Atlantic City officers received suspensions of up to 180 days for misconduct and policy violations
• Two officers were identified in cases involving criminal charges and ongoing court proceedings
• Several disciplinary cases involved misuse of police resources, prisoner security failures, and pursuit policy violations
Officer suspended 180 days for database misuse
Among the most significant disciplinary actions was a 180-day suspension issued to Officer Juanita Harris.
According to the report, Harris improperly used law enforcement databases, including the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and TLO systems, to investigate individuals accused of defrauding a relative in another jurisdiction.
Investigators determined she used her position as a police officer to conduct the searches and used a case number from an unrelated investigation while accessing the information.
Separate suspension tied to suspended driver’s license
Harris also received a separate 20-day suspension after investigators found her driver’s license and vehicle registration had been suspended.
The report states she failed to notify her chain of command and continued driving to work in an uninsured vehicle while her license was suspended.
Officer suspended after positive drug test
Officer Dylan Perez received a 180-day suspension after testing positive during a random departmental drug screening.
According to the report, the substance detected had not been disclosed on his required medical questionnaire.
Uniform violations lead to lengthy discipline
Officer Martina Martin received a 180-day suspension after investigators found she repeatedly violated department uniform regulations by wearing prohibited earrings while on duty despite prior warnings and directives.
Martin also received a separate seven-day suspension after failing to attend the final day of School Resource Officer training without approval.
Officer Bria Hill received a 60-day suspension after investigators determined she repeatedly violated uniform policies and was insubordinate when ordered to remove prohibited earrings.
The investigation also found Hill arrived approximately 90 minutes late to a foot patrol assignment and left after only 15 minutes without authorization.
Criminal charges pending against two officers
Officer Joshua Munyon was listed in the report after being criminally charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, and official misconduct.
According to the disciplinary summary, prosecutors allege Munyon coerced a person who was in police custody and under the influence of alcohol or narcotics into an act of sexual penetration while he was on duty.
The report states Munyon remains suspended without pay pending resolution of the criminal case.
Former Officer Jennifer Sanchez was also identified in the report after criminal charges were filed alleging official misconduct, computer criminal activity, stalking, harassment, and theft.
Investigators allege Sanchez improperly accessed police databases for personal reasons and used the information to harass and stalk an ex-boyfriend. She is also accused of stealing a yard flag from the individual’s property.
The report notes Sanchez resigned from the department after criminal charges were filed.
Prisoner search failures result in suspensions
Three officers were disciplined after a knife was discovered inside a secure holding cell.
Officer Kevin Skeeters received a 15-day suspension, while Officers Ozriel Valentin and Michael Zuniga received suspensions of 30 days each.
Investigators found the officers failed to properly search either the prisoner or holding area before the weapon was discovered.
Pursuit policy violation draws additional suspension
Zuniga also received a separate 45-day suspension stemming from a traffic enforcement incident on Route 40.
According to the report, Zuniga observed a vehicle traveling more than 100 mph and pursued it despite having identifying information for the vehicle. Investigators concluded the pursuit violated department policy because it involved a motor vehicle offense rather than a qualifying criminal offense.
The report further states he failed to immediately notify dispatch and continued the pursuit at excessive speeds through areas with significant vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Additional disciplinary cases
Officer Julian Cuellar received a 10-day suspension related to a call for service at Tropicana Hotel & Casino after investigators found he failed to properly clear the incident until after his shift had ended.
Officer Sumon Majumder received a 30-day suspension after pleading guilty to a motor vehicle offense involving the sale of a vehicle with invalid temporary license plates and failing to notify his chain of command about the circumstances.
The disciplinary cases were included in New Jersey’s 2025 major discipline report published under Attorney General Directive 2021-6, which aims to increase transparency regarding serious law enforcement disciplinary actions statewide.
