A man incarcerated in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections has been sentenced for federal drug conspiracy charges, U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson announced. Shane Eugene Miller, 39, who was already serving a 20-year sentence for various drug offenses, received 252 months with an additional five years of supervised release.
"Miller ran an extensive drug conspiracy from prison with the aid of contraband cell phones and other co-conspirators," stated U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson. "The use of a contraband cellphone by prisoners cannot be tolerated. The actions of Miller threatened our communities with dangerous narcotics. My office, in conjunction with our law enforcement partners, will continue to prosecute individuals who deal drugs, whether they are in prison or out."
Doug Goodwater, FBI Oklahoma City Special Agent in Charge, added: "This investigation demonstrates the FBI’s commitment to ensuring those who pollute our communities with dangerous drugs are brought to justice. We will continue to work side by side with our law enforcement partners to dismantle criminal enterprises, regardless of where they operate."
Court documents revealed that Miller, while in custody, leveraged contraband cell phones to manage a drug distribution network involving methamphetamine and fentanyl. He directed others to negotiate with buyers and collect payments.
Brenda Raelene Blakeley, 65, from Oklahoma City, was sentenced in March 2025 to 235 months in prison for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. Officers discovered methamphetamine concealed in her vehicle during a 2023 stop.
Cierra Michelle Warner, 32, of Ponca City, received a 24-month sentence for her role in using a communication facility to facilitate drug trafficking crimes, followed by a year's supervised release. Warner communicated with co-conspirators to help distribute fentanyl.
Johnathan Allen Perryman, 43, admitted to distributing fentanyl and is awaiting sentencing.
Miller will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
The FBI, the Muscogee Creek Nation Lighthorse Police, and the Tulsa Police Department contributed to the investigation. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Adam Bailey, Attila Bogdan, and Joel-lyn McCormick.
