GULFPORT, Mississippi — Ocean Springs businessman Scott Walker is asking a federal judge to delay for six weeks his sentencing on guilty pleas of conspiracy and corruption.
Walker says in a motion filed in U.S. District Court on Monday that work continues on sentencing issues with federal prosecutors and a delay in his May 6 sentencing could help a resolution of those issues.
The court has not yet ruled on the motion
Walker pleaded guilty in February to working with his father, former agency director Bill Walker, to sell land they owned to the state, through the Land Trust for the Mississippi Coastal Plain.
He also admitted working with former D'Iberville City manager Michael Janus to defraud D'Iberville out of $180,000 dollars. Janus has already pleaded guilty to that charge.
