Leader of "Rollin' 20s Bloods" gang pleads guilty
A leader of the Rollin' 20s Bloods gang, Kevin Chambers, "BK", 29, pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to distribute cocaine and heroin. In the press release, federal prosecutors highlighted the work of state prosecutors, who play a crucial role with wiretap investigations. Chambers' gang operated on Fayette Street in Patterson Park and other areas of Baltimore, selling large quantities of crack cocaine and heroin. Chambers faces a maximum sentence of life in prison, and a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison at sentencing in January.
"Today's guilty plea involving a violent gang member demonstrates the significant investigative expertise the Baltimore State's Attorney's Office provides to long-term law enforcement investigations," said State's Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy in a statement. "Narcotics prosecutors in the State's Attorney's Office pursued leads that led to the Rollin 20's Bloods, and our cross-designated prosecutor worked with federal prosecutors who helped to put them out of business."

Or is this a case where the private school kid lets the public school kid help carry his books, or briefs, in this case?
The press release and Jessamy's statement came from the U.S. Attorney's Office, so... -JF
