Six individuals from Upstate South Carolina, including twins and their grandmother, have been sentenced to federal prison after pleading guilty to drug trafficking charges involving methamphetamine. The group received a total of 813 months of imprisonment, with charges ranging from distribution to firearm possession in connection with drug trafficking.
Among those sentenced were Mikayluh Walker and Mikenzi Walker, both 26, from Gaffney. Evidence showed they distributed drugs in the region and sourced methamphetamine from Atlanta, Georgia. Their grandmother, Sondra Walker, was implicated as she lived with the twins and distributed drugs herself. Mikayluh Walker was found responsible for distributing substantial quantities of methamphetamine and fentanyl, possessing firearms in the course of their activities.
The investigation traced back to 2022, highlighting the Walker twins' role in the distribution network and their utilization of two stash houses—one in their grandmother's residence and the other in a rental. Brenda Mincey was found with drugs traced back to the twins, and Christopher Biggerstaff was discovered carrying methamphetamine and firearms, linked back to the Walkers for supply.
Law enforcement discovered large quantities of drugs and proceeds during searches on multiple occasions, including a substantial find at Sondra Walker's residence and in the possession of Aa’lyah Tukes, Mikayluh's girlfriend.
Sentences were delivered by United States District Judge Donald C. Coggins. Mikayluh Walker received 276 months plus five years of supervision. Mikenzi Walker was sentenced to 180 months, and Christopher Biggerstaff to 192 months, both followed by supervisory periods. Brenda Mincey, Aa’lyah Tukes, and Sondra Walker were also sentenced with varying levels of incarceration and supervision. Another defendant, Jonathan Adam Sarratt, is yet to be sentenced.
The case is part of an investigation by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF), designed to dismantle high-level criminal networks through collaborative efforts of multiple law enforcement agencies. The prosecution is handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jamie Schoen, supported by efforts from a range of federal, state, and local entities.
