I Was Toledo’s Most Wanted — Then I Went to Prison | Devin Prince

Devin Prince grew up in Toledo, Ohio, and became a father at just 17 years old. Struggling to provide, he turned to selling drugs — and soon fell into addiction himself. What started as a hustle spiraled out of control when a robbery gone wrong forced him to flee, landing him on Toledo’s Most Wanted list. While on the run, he became involved in a scam and later continued dealing drugs in Virginia, where he was eventually arrested and sentenced to three years in state prison. But in a shocking twist, luck was on his side — the robbery case that once had him labeled one of Toledo’s most wanted fell apart, giving him an unexpected second chance. In this episode, Devin opens up about teenage fatherhood, drug dealing, addiction, being a fugitive, life in Virginia prison, and the moment everything changed. #MostWanted #TrueCrimeStory #FromFugitiveToFelon #PrisonLife #RedemptionStory #Toledo #CrimeDocumentary #podcastinterview Thank you to BLUECHEW for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.
