Zachery Conson Hughes pled guilty to eight counts including Conspiracy to Violate the Georgia Controlled Substances, two counts of Trafficking Methamphetamine, Sale of Methamphetamine, Illegal use of Communication Facility, Violation of Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act, Possession of Firearm During the Commission of a Felony and Conspiracy to Smuggle Methamphetamine in a Georgia State Correctional Facility. After Chief Superior Court Judge Michael Karpf took the Opened-Ended Plea, he sentenced Hughes to 25 years with ten to serve. The charges stem from Hughes’ participation in a drug trafficking ring that included Ghost Face Gangster senior member Christopher Henry, who ran the operation from Wilcox State Prison. Henry smuggled phones into prison so that he could communicate with his wife, Regina Henry. Regina Henry, who spoke with Christopher Henry multiple times a day, distributed large amounts of crystal methamphetamine from Henry and Clayton Counties using Christopher Henry’s drug connections. Through the diligent work of Chatham Savannah Counter Narcotics Team, Chatham County Assistant District Attorney Noah Abrams obtained indictments against ten members of the drug ring. Of those named in the indictment, four were from the Savannah area. Nearly a pound of crystal methamphetamine was taken off the streets as a result of this investigation.
