Dwight Williams, Heroin and Cocaine Conspiracy, New Jersey 2023

CAMDEN, NJ – A Burlington County man was sentenced to 10 years in prison for conspiring to distribute heroin and cocaine in Camden, Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael A. Honig announced today.

Dwight Williams, 20, of Mount Holly, New Jersey, previously pleaded guilty to a superseding information charging him with conspiracy to distribute 100 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing heroin, as well as a mixture and substance containing cocaine.

During his sentencing hearing, Williams agreed that the amount of heroin jointly attributable to him, as a member of the conspiracy, was three to 10 kilograms.

A total of 19 defendants were arrested in late 2018 on drug-trafficking charges based on the FBI’s investigation of a drug-trafficking organization that ran the open-air narcotics trade on the 400-500 block of Pine Street in Camden for several months in 2018.

The investigation used various investigative tactics, including video surveillance, confidential informants, consensual recordings, controlled drug purchases, and several court-authorized wiretaps to uncover the inner workings of the drug-trafficking organization.

Williams was sentenced to 120 months in prison and five years of supervised release by U.S. District Judge Renee Marie Bumb. Williams agreed that the amount of heroin jointly attributable to him, as a member of the conspiracy, was three to 10 kilograms.

The investigation was led by the FBI’s South Jersey Violent Offender and Gang Task Force, with assistance from the Camden County Police Department, the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office, the Camden County Sheriff’s Department, the Cherry Hill Police Department, and the New Jersey State Police.

Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael A. Honig credited the special agents of the FBI’s South Jersey Violent Offender and Gang Task Force, as well as other law enforcement agencies, with the investigation leading to today’s sentencing.

This effort is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) operation, which identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach.
