In the early hours of May 13th, at around 2:12 AM, Officer Bell encountered another stolen vehicle in the first block of South Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard.

The driver, Adam Ross, was arrested after being found to have stolen the vehicle only moments after a dispute outside led to the theft. Ross had sped off with the stolen vehicle. Following the two incidents, Adam Ross was remanded to the Atlantic County Justice Facility.
