Corey McGill, 29, and Llewellyn Johnson, 26, were indicted Friday on charges of witness tampering and other offenses connected with the Jan. 23 beating of a government informant, according to a story by Anthony Ramirez of the New York Times.
The two men are reported to be members of the Grape Street Crips street gang.
They are accused of beating and threatening an informant who cooperated in an FBI drug investigation of the gang in 2005.
The incident is seen as an illustration of a growing problem of witness intimidation in New Jersey.
