Friday night into Saturday morning, officers from Atlantic City, Absecon and Galloway Township conducted an undercover operation targeting “Johns” or men who solicit sex from female prostitutes for money.

Police also say Green did not solicit any of the undercover officers but did offer them drugs. He was charged with possession of crack cocaine.
During the bust, police also arrested an alleged pimp and two prostitutes. Police say Toni Krampen, 23, and Sheron Singletary, 23, both of Buffalo, New York, approached the undercover officers. The women allegedly tried to recruit them to work for their pimp, identified as Michael McDonald, 34, of Buffalo.
