Two of the three men charged with distributing the drugs that caused Mac Miller’s overdose plead guilty via video conference in separate hearings in Los Angeles this week.
48-year-old Stephen Andrew Walter and 38-year-old Ryan Michael Reavis both plead guilty to one felony count of distributing fentanyl.
Just before entering his plea, Walter admitted to federal Judge Otis D. Wright that he never met Miller and didn’t know what happened to the drugs that he gave to Reavis to sell.
“I was charged with selling blue pills, little blue counterfeit oxycontin pills … and I didn’t know what was in them,” Walter explained in open court. “I didn’t know, like, fentanyl was in it. But I do say, yes, that I aided and abetted the transaction.”
Court documents explain that the third man, 30-year-old Cameron James Pettit, agreed to sell the 26-year-old rapper 10 “blues” — the street name for Oxycodone pills — as well as some cocaine and Xanax on the night of Sept. 4, 2018. Miller fatally overdosed on Sept. 7, 2018.
