Walnut Hill Man Convicted Of Drug Trafficking, Possession

January 21, 2014

Another North Escambia resident has been convicted in connection with last year’s Operation Blister Pack 2.

Steven Daniel Kite, age 36 of  the 700 block of North Highway 99 in Walnut Hill, was charged with felony drug possession and trafficking in amphetamine or methamphetamine 14-28 grams at the time of his arrest on April 23, 2013.

Operation Blister Pack targeted nearly 80 individuals on  methamphetamine and pseudoephedrine related charges. Many of those arrested were  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”, a group centered around Ayers Street in Molino, according to the Sheriff’s Offfice.

It took an Escambia County jury just under an hour to find Kite guilty as charged. He bond was immediately revoked, and he was remanded into custody until he is sentenced in early April.
