Greenbelt, Maryland – Crack Dealer Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison

Kevin Anthony Walker, a 43-year-old resident of Germantown, Maryland, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in a conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine in Montgomery County.

According to the guilty plea, Walker was part of a conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine in and around Germantown from April 2011 through November 10, 2011. During this time, he purchased powder cocaine from sources of supply, which he then converted into crack cocaine.

Walker had co-conspirators drive him to distribute crack cocaine to his customers, often in public places like grocery stores, drug stores, and fast food restaurants. To further his drug trafficking operation, Walker had others put apartments and automobiles in their names for his use.

On December 9, 2011, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Walker’s residence and recovered 152 grams of crack cocaine, six grams of powder cocaine, drug paraphernalia, drug ledgers, and $5,800 in cash. The law enforcement also seized three watches, two rings, a bracelet, and a necklace appraised at $27,000, all of which were purchased with drug proceeds.

United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Montgomery County Police Department for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorneys Deborah A. Johnston and Mara Zusman Greenberg, who prosecuted this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.

The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Karl C. Colder of the Drug Enforcement Administration – Washington Field Division; and Chief J. Thomas Manger of the Montgomery County Police Department.

Walker was sentenced to 20 years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay a fine of $7,000 and to forfeit $5,800 in cash and jewelry seized from his residence, as well as two vehicles.
