What OCSO deputies found inside a Fort Walton Beach home during a June 30 narcotics search warrant was disturbing.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office Special Operations Unit executed a search warrant at a residence on Alden Drive as part of an ongoing narcotics investigation.
Inside the home, deputies discovered deplorable living conditions. Investigators found rats running throughout the residence, rodent droppings covering the floors and furniture, inadequate food, and no clean running water.
As a result of the investigation, 22-year-old Eveland Colbert was charged with:
• Child Neglect Without Great Bodily Harm
• Violation of Probation
Deputies also recovered a firearm and ammunition that she was prohibited from possessing due to the terms of her probation.
During the search warrant, investigators located burnt foil containing fentanyl residue.
James Wendell Nesmith, 44, of Fort Walton Beach, was charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia after the residue field-tested positive for fentanyl.
Christopher Lee Daniels, 39, of Fort Walton Beach, was also charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia after investigators located a smoking device that field-tested positive for methamphetamine residue.
A young child found inside the residence was removed.
