Collingswood Man Guilty in Gang-Related Drug Ring

A Collingswood man admitted Monday to his part in a Camden drug ring involving the Bloods gang that put large quantities of cocaine, heroin and PCP on the streets of the crime-ridden city.

Jamarvis Green, 25, pleaded guilty to second-degree racketeering and third-degree distribution of cocaine in Superior Court in Camden.

Green admitted in court to dealing for the drug ring and acting as a manager by transferring drugs and money to and from other dealers, plus the drug ring’s accused leader.

Green was one of 14 people named in a November 2011 indictment stemming from Operation City Wide, a multi-agency crackdown on the drug ring. Those indicted include the alleged ringleader, Kyle Ogletree, 28, of Cherry Hill, who authorities say is a reputed five-star general in the G-Shine Bloods.

Operation City Wide showed a hierarchy within the drug ring that used “set managers” to insulate Ogletree from street dealers, the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office said. Green acted as a set manger and transferred drugs and cash between Ogletree and the street dealers, according to authorities.

When he’s sentenced on Aug. 30, prosecutors will recommend a 13-year sentence, with no parole eligibility for six years.

The other suspects named in the indictment are:

• Yusef Allen, 24, of Camden
• Donte Cook, 31, of Camden
• Leon O. Holmes, 27, of Camden, aka “Teeny”
• Calvin D. Johnson, 20, of Camden, aka “Killer Cal”
• Keenan Ogletree, 30, of Camden
• Kyle Ogltree, 28, of Cherry Hill, aka “Whop”
• Damir Lea, 21, of Camden, aka “D-Money”
• Victor Matias, 29, of Pennsauken
• Kevin D. Owens, 21, of Camden, aka “Kev”
• Carlton Riley Jr., 20, of Camden, aka “Fat Boy”
• Lovell Venable, 34, of Cherry Hill
• Jonathan Woods, 22, of Camden, aka “Bud”
• Michael Woods, 23, of Camden

Charges against most of the indicted suspects are still pending. Ages listed are at the time of the November 2011 indictment.
