A multi-year investigation into a prison-based drug trafficking organization has resulted in 69 defendants being convicted across multiple state and federal cases.
The investigation, led by United States Attorney Robert J. Troester, culminated in the sentencing of Chance Alan Wilson, a/k/a Wolfhead, the leader of the Universal Aryan Brotherhood (UAB), a violent criminal organization that is primarily run from inside Oklahoma prisons.
Wilson, who was serving a state sentence of 15 years in the Oklahoma State Penitentiary for Murder, was sentenced to serve an additional 360 months in federal prison in December after being found to be primarily responsible for the distribution of hundreds of kilograms of methamphetamine and other drugs over many years.
Wilson and other UAB members relied on a network of individuals operating outside of prison to handle the distribution of the methamphetamine. Over the course of this investigation, federal, state and local law enforcement identified and targeted these individuals and the drug houses they ran on Wilson’s behalf.
Wilson ran the operation from inside prison using contraband cell phones. In the end, 69 individuals associated with the UAB’s operations have been charged and convicted, in both state and federal court. Across those convictions, law enforcement seized 62 firearms, more than 300 pounds of methamphetamine and more than $400,000 in drug proceeds.
Collectively, the individuals charged federally have been sentenced to 418 years in custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons and 216 years of supervised release. Crimes for which the defendants were convicted include drug trafficking, drug conspiracy, money laundering, maintaining drug premises and illegal firearms possession.
