(Audubon) Judge Jeffrey Larson on Tuesday sentenced Jacky Walters to an indeterminate prison term not to exceed seven years.
According to the Audubon County Attorney’s Office Walters was found in possession of methamphetamine and was originally charged with intent to deliver. In a separate incident, he assaulted a female, which was his second domestic assault conviction. He made inappropriate contact with a witness related to those cases attempting to influence testimony, which gave rise to the witness tampering conviction.
Pursuant to a plea agreement, Mr. Walters pleaded guilty to Failure to Affix a Drug Tax Stamp (Class D Felony); Domestic Abuse Assault, Second Offense (Aggravated Misdemeanor); and Witness Tampering (Aggravated Misdemeanor). In exchange for Mr. Walters’ guilty pleas, the State agreed to drop the habitual offender enhancement. Mittimus issued immediately, and he was remanded to the custody of the Department of Corrections yesterday.
The County Attorney’s Office wants to thank the Sheriff’s Department for their critical contributions on this case. Thanks also to Nicole from Catholic Charities for her victim support throughout these matters. Thank you also to my hard-working and talented victim/witness coordinator, Angie Baylor–this county is fortunate to have you. Finally, thank you to Judge Larson for helping us hold these habitual, violent criminals accountable and get meth off our streets.
