Antonio Guice, a 42-year-old resident of Akron, Ohio, was sentenced on Apr. 3 to more than 27 years in federal prison for his involvement in a large-scale conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine throughout Summit County and nearby areas.
Guice received a sentence of 327 months—equivalent to just over 27 years—in prison from U.S. District Judge John R. Adams after pleading guilty in November 2025 to charges of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and distribution of methamphetamine. He will also be subject to five years of supervised release following his imprisonment.
Authorities said Guice was among more than thirty individuals arrested last September during an initiative led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that targeted violent neighborhoods in Akron over a sixty-day period. According to court documents, investigators suspected Guice as the source of significant quantities of methamphetamine distributed across the Akron metropolitan area as early as August 2025. Federal agents directly linked him with the sale of approximately one pound (470 grams) of methamphetamine.
Two co-defendants were also implicated in the case: Troy Miller, age fifty-four and also from Akron, who previously pleaded guilty and is currently serving a ten-year sentence; and Wathen Milliner, age forty, who has pleaded guilty but is awaiting sentencing.
The investigation involved several law enforcement agencies including the ATF Columbus Division’s Cleveland Field Office, Akron Police Department, Summit County Sheriff’s Office, Portage County Sheriff’s Office, Barberton Police Department, University of Akron Police Department, and Ohio Adult Parole Authority. Assistant United States Attorney Toni Beth Schnellinger Feisthamel prosecuted the case for the Northern District of Ohio.
