The man who supplied the deadly pills that killed Mac Miller has accepted a plea deal.
According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, Stephen Walter pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of fentanyl. Prosecutors agreed to drop the second drug-related charge, conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.
Walter is accused of indirectly giving Mac’s alleged dealer, Cameron James Pettit, deadly Percocet tablets that ended up causing him to overdose. Pettit contacted Walter, who sent a runner, Ryan Reavis, to drop them off at Miller’s house on Sept. 5, 2018.
The pills Miller received were counterfeit and contained fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid 50 times more powerful than heroin. By pleading guilty, Walter acknowledges that he was aware that he was distributing counterfeit oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl.
Walter faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and the potential for life without parole, plus a $1 million fine. Prosecutors are recommending 17 years in prison and five years supervised release. He was already on supervised release after being convicted of a previous drug distribution charge.
