Gramiccioni announced that a member of the Nine Trey Gangsters set of the Bloods street gang from Cape May County was sentenced to state prison today for racketeering along with a second man who admitted dealing drugs with the gang in Newark.
According to Director Gramiccioni, Oscar Randall, 41, of Lower Township, was sentenced to 15 years in state prison by Superior Court Judge Robert C. Billmeier in Mercer County. Randall pleaded guilty on Sept. 28 to first-degree racketeering. He admitted that he was a member of the Nine Trey Gangsters and conspired with other members of the gang to distribute narcotics.
In addition, Judge Billmeier sentenced Stanley Foote, 29, of Newark, to 10 years in state prison. Foote pleaded guilty on Sept. 28 to second-degree conspiracy to distribute narcotics. He admitted selling drugs in Newark with members of the Nine Trey Gangsters.

The Division of Criminal Justice Gangs & Organized Crime Bureau has obtained guilty pleas from 39 of the defendants named in the indictment. One leader of the gang, Michael Smart, 27, of Irvington, was tried in January 2009, convicted and sentenced to 70 years in state prison, including 46 years without parole.
