4 P.M. UPDATE: 17 arrested in Bloods gang sweep
Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 02/1/07

WEST TRENTON — State, federal and local law enforcement officials 
arrested 17 adults in a new offensive against the Bloods street gang 
today.

Operation Dawg Pound targeted the gang's presence in central New 
Jersey - predominantly in Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean counties. 
Charges included conspiracy to commit murder, racketeering, 
distribution of CDS, and transfer of weapons.

Among those arrested were Zachery Butts of Freehold Borough, who had 
been previously arrested by Lakewood police in December. A handgun 
owned by Butts was seized and traced to the murder of Keith T. Mason 
in Long Branch. Butts was out on bail when he was arrested this 
morning. Charges against Butts includes transfer of weapons.

Evidence seized in this morning's action supported the murder 
charges previously filed against Valdo Thompson Jr. of Jackson and 
Carl Holdren of Lakewood for their role in November 2006 slaying of 
Michael Montgomery in Long Branch.

Also arrested this morning were Wesley Kelly of Ocean Grove and 
Michael Gunther of Howell, both on drug charges. Two juveniles from 
Ocean County were also taken into custody on drug charges.

The arrests were announced by Attorney General Stuart Rabner, State 
Police Superintendent Colonel Rick Fuentes, and Criminal Justice 
Director Gregory Paw and Gerard P. McAleer, U.S. Drug Enforcement 
Administration Special Agent in Charge took place in the newly 
opened Regional Operations Intelligence Center (ROIC) at State 
Police headquarters.

"Today's operation reflects a new, aggressive law enforcement model 
that we're using to take down the most violent street gangs,'' said 
Rabner. "It's a model that starts with effective intelligence 
gathering by the State Police and other agencies, and brings in 
state prosecutors at the outset, to ensure that we dismantle the 
hierarchy of these gangs with solid cases. We will continue to work 
with our many law enforcement partners to target gangs terrorizing 
our communities. ''
