Who is Stephen Walter?
Stephen Walter is a 46-year-old man who allegedly supplied Mac Miller with the fentanyl-laced pills that caused his fatal overdose.
He was one of three men arrested and charged following Mac Miller’s death.
The other two men are 28-year-old Cameron James Pettit and 36-year-old Ryan Michael Reavis.
Stephen initially pleaded not guilty after being charged with supplying narcotics that led to Mac’s death.
However, up until Monday (October 25) he has since changed his plea.
Was he Mac Miller’s drug dealer?
A toxicology examination found Miller had fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol in his system.
Police immediately launched an investigation into how Miller obtained the drugs.
They examined his text messages which revealed he reached out to Pettit asking for Percocet pills.
Pettit then reached out to Walter asking for “10 blues,” which is slang for Percocet.
Walter then sent Reavis to run the drugs to Miller.
The drugs were delivered to the rapper on September 7, 2018, only two days before he died.
Law enforcement sources say that he will accept responsibility for one count of the distribution of fentanyl.
The plea agreement filed in California states also says that Stephen knew that the counterfeit oxycodone pills contained fentanyl and knew they were being given to the Mac’s dealer, Cameron Pettit.
Stephen had also previously been charged with conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, but this charge was eventually dropped.
