A dealer’s downfall: How efforts to tackle the opioid crisis brought down a group of drug traffickers
ST. PETERSBURG — Kaysandra Lee heard the clatter through her bathroom window. Someone was rummaging in her backyard shed.
It was after midnight, on Sept. 27, 2016, and her 8-year-old grandson was sleeping in the next room. Her heart throbbed in her ears.
She stepped to the front window, peered through the blinds and saw the dim outline of a man’s face.
"Who is it?" she said.
"Flat."
Flat, or Flat Top, is William Harold Wright, whom Lee knew as a friend of her husband’s.
Cops in Pinellas County knew him as a heavyweight supplier of heroin.
Lee opened the door a crack, and Wright and another man pushed their way in.
Wright yelled that he wanted "his stuff."
Officers had missed it when they served a search warrant weeks earlier and carted Lee’s husband, Robert, off to jail.
The other man eyed Lee as Wright tore through the house, tossing furniture and storming into her grandson’s bedroom. They were after a kilo of heroin, worth as much as $100,000.
Wright gave up after an hour but said he wouldn’t leave St. Pete until he had it. He said he’d be back.
Lee sat sleepless until sunrise. Then, calmly, she readied her grandson for school.
At the same time, she picked up a phone.
