MUSKEGON, Mich. (WOOD) — A Muskegon man has been convicted of conspiring to distribute cocaine and other drug charges after attorneys say he worked with a mail carrier, “trafficking large quantities of drugs into Michigan.”

A jury found Srecko Darnell Walker, 35, of Muskegon, guilty of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 5 kilograms or more of cocaine, distribution of cocaine and possession with intent to distribute cocaine, according to the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Michigan.

Walker is scheduled for sentencing in April, where he could get anywhere from 15 years to life in prison, attorneys say.

The charges stem from 2021 and 2022, when Walker worked with a Mukegon-based U.S. Postal Service mail carrier to import cocaine from a supplier named Hugo Benavides in Texas, according to evidence submitted at trial. Walker was the one coordinating the shipments, attorneys say, which he had sent to vacant addresses on Rasic’s mail route.

Five kilograms of cocaine were seized from the mail that attorneys say Walker and his team intended to distribute in West Michigan. In March of 2022, 2 kilograms were seized by investigators. Afterward, Rasic tried to get the package back, falsely claiming he was acting on behalf of the U.S. Postal Service. Rasic texted Walker that the cocaine had been seized, attorneys said.

Months later, investigators saw Walker sell cocaine to a Muskegon woman and found more cocaine and drug-selling supplies in his home. After his house was searched, Walker admitted he imported cocaine through the mail and would track some packages that had cocaine inside, including one containing over a kilogram, attorneys said.

Rasic and Benavides both previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine and are awaiting sentencing.
