Drug dealer pleads guilty to supplying Mac Miller with deadly pills

LOS ANGELES- A man who prosecutors say indirectly supplied rapper Mac Miller with oxycodone pills that killed him in 2018 has pleaded guilty.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Stephen Walter, one of three men charged in Miller’s overdose death, pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of fentanyl.

As part of a plea deal, a second drug-related charge against Walter, (conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance) was dropped.

Walter was indicted by a federal grand jury in Oct. of 2019, along with two other men, Ryan Michael Reavis, 36, and James Pettit, 28, for conspiring to distribute the deadly pills to Miller, according to a report.

Prosecutors said that the three men gave Miller counterfeit pills that were laced with fentanyl days before the rapper overdosed and died. They also supplied Miller with Xanax and cocaine.

Pettit ordered the fentanyl-laced pills from Walter and Reavis delivered the drugs to Pettit, TMZ reported.

Walter is facing more than 20 years in prison and a lifetime of supervised release and a $1 million fine. Prosecutors are requesting that he serve 17 years in prison.

Mac Miller, 26, whose real name is Malcolm James McCormick, was found dead in his Los Angeles home. A coroner ruled he died from drug toxicity involving fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol.
