A California man accused of providing pills containing fentanyl before McMiller’s fatal overdose in 2018 was sentenced Monday to more than 17 years in prison.
At a hearing in Los Angeles Federal Court, US District Judge Otti D. Wright sentenced Stephen Andrew Walter to 210 months in prison for his role in Miller’s death. Under a November plea bargain, Walter admitted to supplying the drug dealer with counterfeit oxycodone pills that eventually led him to Miller.
Walter pleaded guilty to distributing fentanyl, which carries a mandatory 20-year prison sentence. But under the deal, federal prosecutors only needed 17 years and six months. Walter’s attorney did not respond to a request for comment on Monday.
Miller was found dead in the San Fernando Valley, California, on September 7, 2018. He died as a result of an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol, according to a toxicological report published by the Office of the District Court of the County. from Angels.
Walter was charged in October 2019 by Cameron James Petit, 28, and Ryan Michael Rev., 36. Prosecutors say Miller was in talks to buy oxycodone from Petit, but the dealer sold him fake pills decorated with deadly fentanyl. Presumably Walter provided the pills, while Revis provided Petit.
Revis pleaded guilty in November and was sentenced last month to nearly 11 years in prison. The case against Petit is still pending.
