ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A convicted drug dealer, who disappeared after he pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges, has been sentenced to 30 years in Federal prison.
34-year-old Anthony Sean Walker of Omega was released on bond until his sentencing, but he fled the area and remains a fugitive.
Walker typically received and distributed 50 to 70 kilograms of cocaine, each month, to drug dealers in the Tift County area. Law enforcers intercepted a tractor trailer truck used by Walker, where they found $800,000 in drug money, that Walker was shipping to California.
Police found a little more than $13,000 when they searched Walker's house.
