TULSA, Okla. - A man serving time in prison for assaulting a detention officer was sentenced today for knowingly conspiring with others to distribute methamphetamine, announced U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.

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.

According to the indictment, Perry was a "captain" of the Universal Aryan Brotherhood, a known white supremacist prison gang. From mid-2023 through September 2024, Perry used contraband cellphones, encrypted messaging applications and social media to communicate with co-conspirators outside of prison. He coordinated the delivery of kilogram quantities of methamphetamine directly from a transnational criminal organization. Perry relied on his co-conspirators to distribute the methamphetamine and received payment through mobile banking applications.

Court dockets show that Perry's latest conviction was in 2021 for assaulting a detention officer while serving time for grand larceny, possessing stolen property, and possessing a firearm. His history shows that he was previously convicted of two separate second-degree burglaries.

Perry will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

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 investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney David A. Nasar prosecuted the case.
