Antonio Guice, a 42-year-old resident of Akron, 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 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 serve five years of supervised release following his imprisonment.
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 identified Guice as the source behind significant quantities of methamphetamine being trafficked across the Akron metropolitan area in August 2025. Federal agents linked him directly to the sale of approximately one pound (470 grams) of methamphetamine during their investigation.
Co-defendant Troy Miller, aged fifty-four and also from Akron, previously pleaded guilty for his role in the conspiracy and is currently serving a ten-year prison sentence. Another co-defendant, Wathen Milliner, forty, has pleaded guilty as well and is awaiting sentencing.
The case was investigated by several agencies including the ATF Columbus Division’s Cleveland Field Office; police departments from Akron, Barberton, and University of Akron; sheriff’s offices from Summit and Portage counties; as well as the Ohio Adult Parole Authority. Assistant United States Attorney Toni Beth Schnellinger Feisthamel prosecuted the case for the Northern District of Ohio.
