Ghostface Gangster Leader ‘Crash’ Sentenced to 30 Years for Prison Meth Ring
A high-ranking member of the Ghostface Gangsters (GFG), a notorious prison-based gang, has been slapped with a 30-year federal prison sentence for masterminding a massive methamphetamine trafficking operation from behind bars.
Donald Jason Miles, aka ‘Crash,’ 39, of Forsyth, Georgia, was sentenced to 360 months in prison to be followed by five years of supervised release on June 24. Miles pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine on Nov. 13, 2024.
Miles was part of a larger conspiracy that saw him recruiting and directing others to smuggle methamphetamine from a Mexico-based source into Georgia prisons. His co-conspirators, Warren Frederick Courts and Keeli Nycole Wallace, were sentenced to 240 months and 40 months in prison, respectively, for their roles in the scheme.
Courts, 38, of Marietta, Georgia, and Wallace, 34, of Covington, Georgia, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine in August and November 2024, respectively. The investigation, led by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and the DEA, found that Miles and his co-conspirators had been using Georgia prisons as a hub for their illicit activities.
According to court documents, undercover agents discovered that Miles had recruited Wallace as a drug courier to move methamphetamine from Mexico to Southwest Georgia. Agents arrested Wallace at a Motel 6 in Albany on September 12, 2022, finding approximately 1,400 grams of methamphetamine and her cell phones.
The investigation showed that Miles had introduced Wallace to Courts, a subordinate who gave Miles a portion of the profits from selling narcotics. Miles instructed Wallace to obtain methamphetamine from a Mexico-based source and transport it to a buyer in Albany. The scheme was eventually foiled, and Miles was brought to justice.
U.S. Attorney William R. “Will” Keyes vowed to continue working with law enforcement to identify and bring to justice the most dangerous criminal offenders. “Prison gangs and drug cartels pose a direct threat to the safety of our citizens and will not be tolerated,” Keyes said.
GBI Director Chris Hosey praised the investigation, saying, “The brazenness of these gang members to continue their criminal acts even behind bars must be met with decisive action to ensure justice and safety for our communities.”
The case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of prison gangs and the importance of continued vigilance in enforcing the law.
