A reputed leader of the Bloods gang in Camden was sentenced to 15 years in state prison on Friday after pleading guilty to helping lead a “major narcotics network,” according to the state Attorney General’s Office.

Kyle Ogletree, 29, of Camden was a reported five-star general in the G-Shine Bloods who admitted he led a distribution network that sold large amounts of cocaine, heroin and PCP in South Camden. He also admitted that he had personally helped distribute many of the drugs and laundered money as part of the drug enterprise.

Ogletree pleaded guilty to racketeering on Feb. 4 for his role in the network.

Superior Court Judge Samuel D. Natal’s sentence requires that he serve about 13 years before being eligible for parole.

Ogletree was among 13 other defendants who were named in a Nov. 3, 2011, indictment for charges of racketeering for their roles in the drug network.

Ogletree’s uncle, Sean Ogletree, 35, of Philadelphia also received a seven-year prison sentence on Friday and will be required to serve three and a half years of the sentence before being eligible for parole. He also pleaded guilty to racketeering for his involvement in the network on Sept. 19, 2011.
