The leader of the Tulsa Hoover Crips gang who led a drug trafficking operation that investigators say brought $10 million in Mexican narcotics through Tulsa pleaded guilty Monday to federal charges in an agreement that calls for him to serve 30 years in prison.

Donald Maurice Walters, 35, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge John Dowdell to conspiracy to traffic cocaine, crack cocaine and marijuana; operating a continuing criminal enterprise; and participating in the buying, selling and training of dogs to fight other dogs.

The judge deferred a decision on whether to accept Walters’ plea until after he received a presentencing report that is due later. Dowdell scheduled Walters’ sentencing for Aug. 25.

Without the plea agreement, Walters could have faced a sentence of life in prison on two of the three counts to which he pleaded guilty.

Prosecutors also agreed to drop the remaining counts as part of the agreement.
