Ryan Reavis, the drug dealer who sold deceased rapper Mac Miller fentanyl-laced oxycodone pills — which led to the rapper’s death, has been handed a nearly 11-year prison sentence.

Ryan Reavis Plea Deal & Sentencing
Reavis, who is just one of the drug dealers who supplied the deadly pills to Mac Miller, just received his sentence after he agreed to a plead deal last year. It’s reported that Reavis will be behind bars for 10 years and 11 months after he pleaded guilty back in November 2021. The guilty plea was to one count of distributing fentanyl.
It’s also said that Reavis’ sentence length is longer than he had requested in his plea deal, which was 5 years, but it is shorter than the 12.5 years the prosecutors were trying to land.

The Dealers & Mac’s Mom
As a refresher, federal agents say Reavis was the person who supplied the fatal oxycodone pills to Mac’s alleged drug dealer, who’s been identified as Cameron Pettit. It’s also said that Pettit was under order of Stephen Walter, who also recently pled guilty to distributing fentanyl. Sentencing has yet to be ordered for Walter, and Pettit (the alleged dealer) has his case still pending.
On Monday (Apr. 18), Reavis said in court that he was just a middle man. Reavis said that he had no idea that the deadly pills he was supplying were counterfeit, and laced with fentanyl. However, the judge continued to order an even-handed sentence, which arrived after a statement given by the late rapper’s mother, Karen Meyers.
Insisting that her son would’ve never consumed the counterfeit pills, Ms. Meyers affirmed that the blame should solely be placed upon the drug dealers and suppliers. Ms. Meyers said, “He would never knowingly take a pill with fentanyl, ever. He wanted to live and was excited about the future. The hole in my heart will always be there.”

Background
As reported back in 2019, Reavis was arrested in Arizona. During the arrest, authorities discovered a phony doctor’s notepad, presuming that it was used to fill prescriptions. In addition to the phony pad, they claimed to have found firearms and drugs, including prescription-only pills and marijuana.
