Texas-Based Aryan Circle Prison Gang Leader Known as 'Aryan Prodigy' Sentenced Over Assault
Threats. Brutal beatings. Meth deals. Murders. The Texas-based prison gang Aryan Circle, the second largest of its kind in the state, has spent more than three decades building a reputation as one of the most cutthroat white supremacist outfits behind bars.
But this week, federal authorities announced another victory against Aryan Circle. U.S. District Judge Thad Heartfield sentenced Michael Martin, a 38-year-old Aryan Circle leader known as "Aryan Prodigy," to 87 months in a federal prison half a year after Martin pleaded guilty to assault resulting in serious bodily injury in aid of racketeering.
The more than seven-year sentence comes only three months after the feds delivered another blow to Aryan Circle. In July, three of the gang’s affiliates pleaded guilty on several federal charges related to assault and meth dealing.
According to court documents, Martin, who joined Aryan Circle in the early 2000s, ordered his subordinates to attack another member who planned on leaving the gang and joining a different group in October 2016.
