By Ian Bush
CAMDEN, N.J. (CBS) -- You send letters through the mail; they sent cocaine. The leader of a drug trafficking ring pleaded guilty Monday in Camden County Superior Court in a case that shut down a narcotics pipeline in South Jersey.
More than 50 pounds of cocaine, worth over $900,000 were seized, along with handguns and a half-million dollars in cash.
Twenty-four-year-old Kemar Davis of Hollywood, California admitted to running the drug network, according to Elie Honig with the New Jersey Attorney General's office.
"Shipping large quantities of cocaine through the mail," Honig says, "using FedEx and the U.S. Mail and delivering them to spots in New Jersey, including the Cherry Hill Mall, and then distributing the cocaine from there."
Davis faces up to 20 years in prison when he's sentenced in November.
One brother, 37-year-old Andrew Davis from Jamaica, originally from Swedesboro, is in custody, facing similar 'ringleading' charges. Another, Roger, also 37, from Roslyn, Montgomery County, has pleaded guilty to a drug charge.
Eight of the ten people accused in the case have been convicted.
