Akron Meth Dealer Sentenced to 27 Years in Federal Prison

AKRON, Ohio - A 42-year-old man has been sentenced to prison for his role in a large-scale conspiracy to sell illegal narcotics throughout Summit County and the surrounding areas.

Antonio Guice, of Akron, Ohio, was sentenced to 327 months (27.25 years) in prison by U.S. District Judge John R. Adams after pleading guilty in November 2025 to the following charges:

• Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine
• Distribution of Methamphetamine

He was also ordered to serve five years of supervised release after imprisonment.

Guice was one of more than 30 people arrested last September as part of an ATF-led law enforcement initiative that was conducted over a 60-day period and focused on Akron's most violent neighborhoods.

According to court documents, in August 2025 investigators suspected that Guice was the source of large quantities of methamphetamine being trafficked throughout the Akron metropolitan area. During the investigation into the conspiracy, federal agents linked the sale of approximately 470 grams (more than one pound) of methamphetamine directly to Guice.

Co-defendant Troy Miller, 54, of Akron, previously pleaded guilty to his role in the conspiracy and is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence. A second co-defendant, Wathen Milliner, 40, also of Akron, pleaded guilty to his role in the conspiracy and is awaiting sentencing.

The investigations leading to the indictments in this law enforcement initiative were conducted by 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 the Ohio Adult Parole Authority.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Toni Beth Schnellinger Feisthamel for the Northern District of Ohio.
