He was ordered jailed in lieu of $1 million bail.Pierce County prosecutors allege in court documents that Campbell took part in a drive-by shooting that targeted members of a rival gang in September 2009 and also sold drugs to a police informant three times in September and October of last year.Authorities believe Campbell and other suspected members of the gang conspired to commit dozens of crimes over the past 18 months.Last week, the South Sound Gang Task Force served search warrants at multiple locations, and prosecutors charged 32 men with taking part in the conspiracy and committing other crimes.Campbell eluded the initial dragnet but was arrested Wednesday in Lakewood, authorities said.So far, 25 of the men charged in the case have been arraigned in Superior Court. All have pleaded not guilty and been ordered jailed in lieu of $1 million bail.Five others charged in the conspiracy case are serving time in state prisons for other crimes. One was brought to Pierce County and booked into the jail Wednesday. Prosecutors have requested that state prison officials transport the other four back so they all can be arraigned.
Two others – Kerry T. Edwards, 17, and Errol B Mayers, 30 – remained at large Thursday. Warrants have been issued for their arrests.
