CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) – A man whose job once included helping homeless addicts get drug treatment admitted Wednesday to overseeing a drug ring that sold heroin and crack cocaine.

Harold “Hal” Miller was previously a program coordinator at a homeless shelter in Camden partly funded by rock star Jon Bon Jovi.

The 41-year-old Mantua man pleaded guilty to conspiracy and possession with the intent to distribute and faces up to 20 years in prison when he’s sentenced May 8.

Miller, who was also known as “Killer Clown,” admitted that for 15 months he oversaw a conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine on a Camden street, overseeing dealers who stood outside rundown homes.

Three other men have also pleaded guilty.
