The man who supplied cocaine to Mac Miller drug dealer faces a maximum sentence of 21 years in prison. TMZ reports on Monday, Stephen Walter, a member of the supply chain that supplied drugs to the rapper before his death in September 2018, pled guilty to selling fentanyl. Walter, is one of three persons charged in connection with Miller’s killing along with Cameron James Pettit and Ryan Michael Reavis. According to court filings, Walter first gave the pills to Reavis, who then gave them to Pettit, who sold them to Miller on September 5, 2018.
Walter “knew the prescriptions he requested Reavis to send to Pettit included fentanyl or some other federally banned narcotic, and intended for Reavis to distribute the pills to Pettit at all relevant times,” Walter wrote through text. Later that evening, Reavis delivered the pills to Pettit. Shortly after, Pettit distributed the pill containing fentanyl to Mac Miller the documents stated.
Miller died two days later, on September 7, of an accidental drug overdose including fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol, according to his autopsy. According to prosecutors, Miller “would not have died from an overdose but for the fentanyl contained in the pills that Miller had received from Pettit on September 4, 2018.”
Walter faces a sentence of 17 to 21 years in jail, as well as a $1 million fine. “All parties agree that this is a just and fair disposition of the case,” his attorney told Pitchfork. Both Reavis and Pettit have pled not guilty to similar drug charges. They are scheduled to go on trial in March 2022, according to Pitchfork.
