A man already serving a prison sentence for assaulting a detention officer received an additional 236 months in prison for conspiring to distribute methamphetamine, according to an announcement from U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.

Quinton Andrew Perry, 29, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gregory K. Frizzell after pleading guilty to drug conspiracy charges in September. In addition to the nearly 20-year sentence, Perry will serve five years of supervised release following his imprisonment.

According to court documents, Perry held the position of “captain” within the Universal Aryan Brotherhood, identified as a white supremacist prison gang. From mid-2023 through September 2024, he used contraband cellphones and encrypted messaging apps to coordinate with individuals outside prison walls. He arranged for kilogram quantities of methamphetamine to be delivered from a transnational criminal organization and relied on co-conspirators to distribute the drugs and send him payments via mobile banking applications.

Records show that Perry’s most recent conviction before this case was in 2021 for assaulting a detention officer while he was already incarcerated for grand larceny, possession of stolen property, and possession of a firearm. He also has two previous convictions for second-degree burglary.

Perry will remain in custody until he is transferred to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

The investigation involved multiple agencies: the Drug Enforcement Administration Tulsa Resident Office, the Drug Enforcement Administration Dallas Field Office, the North Texas Criminal Interdiction Unit, and Oklahoma Department of Corrections’ Office of Inspector General Criminal Interdiction Division. Assistant U.S. Attorney David A. Nasar prosecuted the case.

“Today, Quinton Andrew Perry, 29, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gregory K. Frizzell after pleading guilty in September for Drug Conspiracy. He was ordered to serve 236 months imprisonment, followed by five years of supervised release.”
