Absecon woman pleads guilty to assault and stalking

Dariana Gonzalez-Colon, 32, of Absecon, pleaded guilty on October 23 to third-degree aggravated assault on a domestic violence victim, fourth-degree stalking, and fourth-degree resisting arrest by flight.

The charges stem from two incidents in late 2025. On September 15, Absecon police responded to a stolen vehicle report and found a victim injured on a sidewalk. The victim stated that Gonzalez-Colon had assaulted her after being asked to return a borrowed car.

On October 11, Absecon police located the victim's vehicle at a local Travelodge Motel. Gonzalez-Colon was found inside the car and attempted to flee from officers before being apprehended. The victim had previously reported ongoing harassment to Atlantic City police, expressing fear for her safety.

Gonzalez-Colon admitted to causing significant bodily harm and attempting to evade arrest. She faces four years in state prison and is scheduled for sentencing on December 8.
