An Arkansas man faces a minumum of 15-years in prison, after receiving several shipments of methamphetamine in the U.S. mail at a Bryant residence. Read more below.
Spencer Walker, age 36, of Little Rock, was convicted by a federal jury on conspiracy to possess methamphetamine with intent to distribute. He was also convicted of charges on a felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Arkansas. Jonathan D. Ross, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, announced the guilty verdict.
Walker was indicted by a federal grand jury in a superseding indictment on August 5, 2025, and charged with the three counts he took to trial. The four-day jury trial was held before United States District Judge Lee P. Rudofsky. The jury deliberated less than 45 minutes before returning a guilty verdict on all three counts for which Walker had been indicted.
The evidence at trial 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 were able to secure a search warrant for Walker’s residence.
During a search of the residence, law enforcement officers 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.
Officers then discovered an additional three packages addressed to the Bryant residence had been previously intercepted, according to a statement. The packages contained 10 pounds of methamphetamine each. In January of 2023, law enforcement officers intercepted another package going to the Bryant residence that contained 10 pounds of methamphetamine.
Officers were able to identify Walker as the intended recipient of all the packages with meth, due partly to USPIS having intercepted the parcels. There were also several witness statements, and photo identification.
Walker faces a minimum sentence of 15 years in federal prison. There is no parole in the federal system.
The investigation was conducted by the United States Postal Inspection Service with assistance from the DEA. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Katie Hinojosa.
