Spencer Walker was sentenced on July 31 to 360 months in federal prison for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. Jonathan D. Ross, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, announced the sentence, which was handed down by United States District Judge Lee P. Rudofsky.
A federal grand jury returned a Third Superseding Indictment against Walker on August 5, 2025. The indictment charged him with one count each of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. On September 25, 2025, after a four-day jury trial, Walker was found guilty on all three counts.
Walker received sentences totaling 300 months for conspiracy and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Judge Rudofsky ordered an additional consecutive sentence of 60 months for possessing a firearm during drug trafficking. In addition to prison time, Walker must serve five years’ supervised release; there is no parole in the federal system.
During the trial it was revealed that law enforcement intercepted two packages containing five pounds each of methamphetamine sent through the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) in September 2022. Officers conducted controlled deliveries at Walker’s address and later found another unopened package with ten pounds more methamphetamine at his residence along with a shotgun equipped with a drum magazine. Further investigation linked additional intercepted packages addressed to another residence frequented by Walker containing similar quantities of drugs.
Walker attempted during trial proceedings to place blame on an ex-girlfriend; however, witness statements and photo identification tied him as the intended recipient for all seized parcels containing methamphetamine. He has prior felony convictions including breaking or entering and residential burglary.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service with assistance from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Little Rock Police Department.
