Eight Sentenced On ‘Operation Blister Pack 2′ Drug Charges

October 24, 2013

Eight North Escambia residents have sentenced on methamphetamine and amphetamine related charges stemming from “Operation Blister Pack 2″.

Three defendants — Nikki Lynn Night, Henry Allen Miller and Brandy Suzanne Tucker — were sentenced to state prison, while the other defendants were sentenced to probation, community control and/or time in the county jail.

Over a dozen North Escambia residents are awaiting trial or sentencing dates later this year in connection with the undercover operation that targeted persons involved with drug groups dubbed “The Village Group”, centered around “The Village” area of Forrest Street and Lakeview Avenue in Cantonment; and “The Ayers Group” for a group centered around Ayers Street in Molino.

About 75 people were arrested on state charges in Operation Blister Pack 2, while a dozen were arrested on federal charges.  For details on federal defendants sentenced to date, click here for an earlier NorthEscambia.com story.

    The scurge of America. Meth knows no bounds.Rich or poor,young or old, Red, Black or White. Rehab is of little help. Hard time is the only cure ( It doesn’t always work), Probation is just for the legal system to make money. Once you get in the system you have to pay to get out. Cantonment was a great place to grow up. I did and I have people burried there. It can be again. People get to know the people that you live around. Form watch groups. Fight back. LISTEN UP TO ALL YOU METH HEADS. Quit while you still can. God bless you all.

    These laws need to be changed. The dea needs to revise their list of chemicals. The silple list is a way to avoid laws. Research the drug act and how the president created this list to circumvent public laws.
    As a note iodine and acetone are on the list. So your medical iodine for cuts and your fingernail polish remover can land you in hot water. Just depends on the cop, judge or prosocuter. You can get arrested for a suspected violation and have to prove you are not guilty.
    This may be a extreme but it could happen.

    Are you people serious?????? This is an epidemic in our community now. Our children are going to suffer in the long run because of these DRUGGIES making…selling… this crap…… Who care what so and so got for what they did and went to jail…. This Drug problem is out of control….

  4. What Happened? on October 24th, 2013 8:45 pm

    Well obviously a lot has changed in the past few years. My brother was one of those arrested in the first blister pack sting and he got 20 yrs in federal prison! Not saying he is innocent, yes he was guilty, and yes he should pay for his crime, but my question is what happened in the past few years that the punishments are so so much more lenient.

    What???

    1. Once again the punishment does not fit the crime. Drugs are a real problem in this country and they destroy lives on a daily basis. I hardly think that probation is the answer.

    Why do we even bother it was all a waste of tax dallors

  9. REALLY?? on October 24th, 2013 7:07 am

    WHAT The hell
    Like I’ve said many times, you can write a bad check and receive more time than making, manufacturing and purchasing METH!!
    What a shame!
    Hope these guys and girls get their life straight and get rehab, but most of the ones involved here were already on probation. Wasn’t their first rodeo!
    Nikki Kight is a prime example, was on probation and you might as well say she got a slap on the hand………and they all talked and turned on each other to save their own butts!!
    They have turned the neighborhood into a drug infested rat hole, people scared to come out of their own homes, scared to allow their children to play in the park.
    They should re-name that area METH HELL VALLEY :(

    Let us hope the ones on probation will be “scarred straight”, but who knows?

    The sentences these people received sound like a swat on the hand. Maybe if they got a good dose the first time there wouldn’t be a second or third. There are so many other things that go along with these crimes.

    really…probation along with time served? Gee judge, if it had just been a little marijuana would they have been paid extra because they got caught? The worst any of this group gets is 3 years along with “time served”? No wonder they don’t stop this crap. There’s no REAL penalty for doing it other than a small slap on the wrist and have to check in with a PO here and there. A guy driving down the road who’s had a few beers would get more than that!!! Sickening because the poison made and sold by this kind of garbage KILLS people and ruins lives. Oh well, over half of this bunch will violate probation and be right back in there in a few months. Sad but true
