He was charged with producing a decommissioned firearm and making a threat to kill, and pleaded guilty to producing an offensive weapon during a dispute at Letterkenny Circuit Court in October 2022. In November 2023, Walters was sentenced at Letterkenny Circuit Court to five years' imprisonment, with the final 12 months suspended, and ordered to abstain from alcohol and attend trauma-informed therapy and a domestic violence programme.
