The following day, the U.S. Attorney’s Office asked a district court in Oregon to dismiss her charges there, saying it was in the interest of justice based on Walker’s plea and sentencing in Canada.
She had been facing two charges in the U.S. related to identity fraud for allegedly crossing the border with fake identification.
