Cleveland man admits to drug charge

 WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA – Sylvester Deangelo Walker, of Cleveland, Ohio, has admitted to a drug charge, Acting United States Attorney Randolph J. Bernard announced.

Walker, also known as “DBOS,” 25, pleaded guilty to one count of “Distribution of Methamphetamine.” Walker admitted to selling methamphetamine in November 2020 in Ohio County.

Walker faces up to 20 years of incarceration and a fine of up to $1,000,000. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed will be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Shawn M. Adkins is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The Ohio Valley Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated.

U.S. Magistrate Judge James P. Mazzone presided.
