Woman gets six-month sentence for mobile meth incident
Kristy Jeanee Walker was sentenced to 10 years of suspended penitentiary time for her involvement in a mobile methamphetamine manufacturing incident that resulted in an explosion in July 2014.
JayJay Stanton Coronado, 29, was driving a white Buick LeSabre on East Sixth Street while he and Wilker made methamphetamine in a 20-ounce pop bottle in the front seat using a formula known as the "one-pot" method, police said.
A car fire was reported near Sixth Street and LaSalle Avenue at 6:44 p.m. July 4, 2014. Police say the couple's one-pot meth lab ruptured, burning both Coronado and Wilker and setting their car on fire.
Coronado continued to drive down Sixth Street and struck a light pole. Before backing up from the pole, they tossed out their burned clothes and what remained of the lab. They continued driving through the neighborhood as residents called police to report the burning car, which stopped in the parking lot of Oak View Library, 3700 E. Third St.
Emergency responders found both Coronado and Wilker with burns to various parts of their body. A small amount of meth was found inside the car. They also found another one-pot meth lab inside the truck.
Coronado was airlifted to a burn unit at a Minneapolis hospital. Wilker was treated and released from a local hospital. She initially appeared in court July 7, 2014 and was given a $5,000 cash or surety bond.
Wilker plead guilty to one count of possession of a controlled substance along with a previous controlled substance possession conviction. Judge Suban Sabers sentenced Wilker to five years suspended time in the state penitentiary for each charge. Both sentences are to be served consecutively, giving Wilker the possibility of 10 years in prison if she violates probationary terms set forth by Judge Sabers.
Sabers also gave Wilker 180 days incarceration in the Minnehaha County Jail. The six-month jail sentence is set to start April 30. Along with her jail and suspended time, Wilker must complete three years of supervised probation and remain "clean and sober."
