The two men charged with distributing drugs that killed rapper Mac Miller pleaded guilty on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Ryan Micael Reavis, 38, and Stephen Andrew Walter, 48, pleaded guilty in two separate video conferences to one count of distributing fentanyl, reports The New York Post.
Before Walter entered his guilty plea, he told federal judge Otis D. Wright:
“I was charged with selling blue pills, little blue counterfeit oxycontin pills, and I didn’t know what was in them,” Walter told the judge. “I didn’t know, like, fentanyl was in it. But I do say, yes, that I aided and abetted the transaction.”
Walter is accused of supplying Reavis with the deadly drugs that killed Mac Miller.
According to the indictment, Cameron James Petit had agreed to sell Mac Miller 10 “blues”, which is the street name for Oxycodone pills, cocaine and Xanax on Sept. 4, 2018, reported The Post.
Miller died two days later from a deadly overdose. He was found dead in his California home.
Petit had allegedly sold Miller the drugs.
During the hearing, prosecutors said Walter knew the pills he had given Reavis contained fentanyl.
Walter said during the hearing “I never met Miller before,” he said. “I only talked to Cameron. I didn’t know what his intentions were with the pills. After he saw Ryan Reavis, I didn’t know what he was going to do with them.”
Walter is scheduled to be sentenced on March7, 2022, and Reavis will return to court on April, 4, 2022.
If convicted, both men face up to 20 years max in federal prison, a lifetime of supervised release, court fees and a $1 million fine.
