SHALIMAR WOMAN NABBED IN DRUG STING
Linda Debra Arthur
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office conducted a narcotics search
warrant at 75 Schooner Rd. in Shalimar Friday morning. It was executed after law
enforcement made controlled purchases of cocaine and marijuana from the
residence.
27-year old Linda Debra Arthur is charged with possession of a controlled
substance without a prescription, felony possession of marijuana and child
neglect without great bodily harm.
The Department of Children and Families was brought into the
investigation due to illegal narcotics being on a countertop within easy reach
of young children. Children were also present when narcotics sales took place.
Additional charges are pending in this case.
