The arrest was part of “Operation Skin Deep,” an investigation that led to the arrests of 12 people. Nine members of the ring including its leader have pleaded guilty. Three have been sentenced to prison terms of 10 to 21 years.
The investigation stemmed from a probe into white supremacist groups in Atlantic City.
