Pine Bluff Man Who Was Found Guilty of Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine and Possession of a Firearm in Furtherance of a Drug-Trafficking Crime[...]

LITTLE ROCK-Spencer Walker will spend the next 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 today by United States District Judge Lee P. Rudofsky.

On August 5, 2025, a federal grand jury returned a Third Superseding Indictment charging Walker, 37, of Pine Bluff, with one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, and one count of 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 by the federal jury on all three counts in the Third Superseding Indictment.

Walker was sentenced to 300 months in federal prison for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Judge Rudofsky also sentenced Walker to serve an additional 60 months in federal prison for possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, which will be served at the completion of the first sentence. In addition to the federal prison sentences, Judge Rudofsky ordered Walker to serve five years' supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.

During the trial, the evidence revealed that in September 2022, the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) intercepted two packages, each containing five pounds of methamphetamine. Law enforcement officers performed a controlled delivery of those packages to Walker's address. After the controlled delivery, they conducted a search of Walker's residence and located an additional unopened package that was found to contain 10 pounds of methamphetamine; in his bedroom they located a shotgun with a 25-round drum magazine.

Law enforcement officers continued their investigation into the owner of the residence, tracing his location for a period of time. They noted that the owner frequented a house in Bryant, Arkansas. Law enforcement officers then discovered that an additional three packages addressed to the Bryant residence containing 10 pounds of methamphetamine each, had been previously intercepted. In January of 2023, law enforcement officers intercepted another package going to the Bryant residence that contained 10 pounds of methamphetamine. During the trial, Walker attempted to place the blame on an ex-girlfriend. It was through the interception by USPIS of those parcels, as well as several witness statements and photo identification, that law enforcement officers were able to identify Walker as the intended recipient of all the packages containing methamphetamine.

Walker has previous felony convictions for breaking or entering, possession of a handgun on public school property, theft of property, fleeing, theft by receiving, forgery, and residential burglary.

The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service with assistance from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Little Rock Police Department.
