SEXUAL ASSAULT INVESTIGATION

     37-year old Devery Lane Taylor , a captain stationed at Eglin Air Force Base, has been apprehended by the Air Force Office of Special Investigation and could face criminal charges of sexual assault.   The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office assisted O-S-I in executing a search warrant Wednesday at Taylor ’s Okaloosa Island home ( 311 Bluefish Drive, Apartment 4 ).  

     The investigation was prompted by allegations by a man who says he met Taylor at an establishment on Okaloosa Island March 23rd.  He believes Taylor drugged him, making him incapacitated -  then sexually assaulted him at Taylor ’s home. A second person has come forward and reported a similar type incident. 

     Authorities are asking anyone with information regarding these cases, or any others, to contact the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division at 850-609-2000.
