Sentencing Set For Baltimore Gang Member
BALTIMORE (AP) — A member of a violent Baltimore street gang could spend the rest of his life behind bars after being convicted on federal racketeering and drug trafficking charges.
Thirty-five-year-old Gerald Thomas Johnson was one of three members of the Black Guerilla Family convicted in January for their roles in the gang.
Johnson was to appear in federal court Monday for sentencing.
He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison for racketeering and drug conspiracies and for murder in aid of racketeering, according to the ATF Baltimore Field Division.
Johnson also faces up to 10 years for conspiring to commit murder in aid of racketeering, a maximum 20 years for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, and up to 10 years for being a felon in possession of ammunition.
