\"\"A Missouri man was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in prison for racketeer-influenced and corrupt organizations (RICO) charges stemming from his membership in the Aryan Circle (AC), a white supremacy prison gang, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents, Timothy Long, aka Timmy, of Mountain Grove, was a member of the AC, a violent, race-based, and prison-based gang with hundreds of members operating inside and outside of state and federal prisons throughout the country. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The AC enforces its rules and promotes discipline among its members, prospects, and associates through threats, intimidation, and acts of violence, including murder, kidnapping, and narcotics trafficking. <\/span><\/p>\n

Members are required to follow the orders of higher-ranking members without question.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cThis is the final sentencing in a multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency effort to dismantle the Aryan Circle, which terrorized local communities and perpetuated a cycle of gang violence in federal prisons for far too long,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite, Jr. of the Justice Department\u2019s Criminal Division.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2018, as part of his membership in the AC, Long stabbed two separate victims while all were housed at U.S. Penitentiary (USP) Lee, a federal prison in Lee County, Virginia. <\/span><\/p>\n

Long stabbed each victim at the direction of AC leadership as retaliation for a rival white supremacist gang’s attack on a higher-ranking member of the AC.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cViolent gangs like the Aryan Circle present a growing threat to our communities in the Eastern District of Texas and the type of violence associated with these organizations is alarming,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Damien M. Diggs of Texas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2022, two of Long\u2019s co-defendants, AC leaders\u00a0William Glenn Chunn<\/a>\u00a0and Jesse Blankenship, were both sentenced to life in prison for RICO conspiracy and related racketeering charges.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trial Attorney Rebecca Dunnan of the Criminal Division\u2019s Organized Crime and Gang Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Rapp of Texas prosecuted the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

This prosecution is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) operation. <\/span><\/p>\n
