A Glassboro man who was associated with the Bloods street gang was sentenced to 13 years in state prison Thursday for dealing crack cocaine.

The sentence for Lamar Young, 32, includes six years without possibility of parole, state Criminal Justice Director Stephen J. Taylor said. Young was sentenced by state Superior Court Judge Walter L. Marshall Jr. in Woodbury as a persistent offender to an extended term in the first-degree range.

Young was found guilty at trial on Feb. 11 of second-degree distribution of controlled dangerous substance for selling crack cocaine on two occasions in Glassboro. The charge was contained in a May 30, 2008 state grand jury indictment. Young was an associate of both the Fruit Town Brims and Nine Tech sets of the Bloods.

The case stems from Operation Bloodwork, a joint investigation conducted by the State Police Street Gang Unit South and the Glassboro police.

Ten other people have pleaded guilty to drug or weapons offenses as a result of Operation Bloodwork, which focused on the criminal activities of the Fruit Town Brims in the Glassboro area.

Deputy Attorney General Cassandra Serentino prosecuted the case for the Division of Criminal Justice Gangs & Organized Crime Bureau. She was assisted at trial by Deputy Attorney General J. Michael Wicke. Det. Michael Flory led the investigation for the State Police, assisted by Det. Michael Powell of the Glassboro police and Det. Pete Ferris of the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office.
