Garry Hunter Little Walker, Assault on an Officer, Nebraska 2022

Garry Hunter Little Walker, a 34-year-old man from Winnebago, Nebraska, has been sentenced to three years of probation for assaulting an officer.

On June 3, 2022, Victim 1, an officer with the Omaha Nation Law Enforcement Services, was called to a residence near Lyndon Ave. in Rosalie, Nebraska, to respond to an argument between Little Walker and his grandmother and the mother of his children.

Upon arrival, Victim 1 attempted to place Little Walker in handcuffs, but Little Walker pushed Victim 1 and began running away. Victim 1 successfully deployed his taser twice, but Little Walker continued to resist.

Little Walker ran into a house and shut and locked the door. Upon Victim 1 entering the house, he found Little Walker standing in the kitchen with his fists clenched and standing in a fighting posture. Little Walker stated he was not going to go to jail.

When told he had very little options, Little Walker asked Victim 1, “How do you want it then? I’m going to rack real hard.” Victim 1 took a step toward Little Walker and Little Walker lifted his right hand and swung over his grandmother and struck Victim 1 in the left side of the head.

Little Walker then grabbed Victim 1 by the head, and Victim 1 lifted him and took him to the ground. Little Walker would not let go of Victim 1’s head after repeated orders to let go. Little Walker then began reaching for Victim 1’s gun.

Victim 1 pepper sprayed Little Walker and, in the process, incapacitated himself as well. Victim 1 while still suffering the effects of the pepper spray tried to take Little Walker out of the house. While doing so, Little Walker lunged at Victim 1 and elbowed him in the face before falling onto the ground.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Omaha Nation Law Enforcement Services.

Garry Hunter Little Walker’s sentencing marks the end of a long and tumultuous case. He was sentenced to three years of probation, a significant sentence for the violent crime.
