REVERSE STING NETS 14 ARRESTS

     The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit (Problem Oriented Policing or “POP” Squad, Drug Task Force, K-9 Unit) and Community Police conducted drug reversal operations in the Sylvania Heights community over the weekend, resulting in fourteen arrests.

    The operation targeted people entering the area to buy drugs. Deputies seized more than ten pounds of marijuana and four vehicles.

   The goal of this, and future operations, is to suppress illegal drug activity in our communities and to make it difficult for people to both sell, or buy, street-side narcotics.

1.      25-year old Robert Michael Pierce of 1649 James Lee Blvd , Lot 12, Crestview  – Attempt to purchase crack cocaine, possession of paraphernalia, possession of  cocaine, and tampering with evidence.
