A Camden man today admitted his role in a crack cocaine distribution conspiracy operating in Camden, Acting U.S. Attorney William E. Fitzpatrick announced.
Julian Dickerson, a/k/a “Juelz,” 30, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Jerome B. Simandle in Camden federal court to an information charging him with one count of conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute cocaine base.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Dickerson admitted that he was a member of an organization that controlled the distribution of drugs, including crack cocaine, in and around the 1100 block of Lansdowne Avenue in Camden. Dickerson admitted that he was supplied crack cocaine by other members of the conspiracy, which he sold to customers in the area and to an undercover officer on several occasions.
Dickerson – along with Joseph Boyd, Jason Boyd, Tony Wilson, Preston Thomas, Derek Stallworth, Jeffrey Whitaker, and Nafeez Griffin – was originally charged Sept. 9, 2016 following an investigation by the FBI’s South Jersey Violent Offender and Gang Task Force. Law enforcement officers seized drugs and recovered two handguns that were kept by members of the conspiracy in connection with the organization’s drug trafficking activities.
The drug distribution conspiracy charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
Dickerson’s sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 29, 2017.
Jason Boyd, Stallworth, and Wilson have all pleaded guilty to drug distribution conspiracy and firearms possession and await sentencing.
Joseph Boyd pleaded guilty to drug distribution conspiracy and awaits sentencing. The charges against Thomas, Whitaker, and Griffin are still pending, and they are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
