CRACK DEALER ARRESTED BY
DRUG TASK FORCE
Judith Koran
The Okaloosa County Multi-Agency Drug Task Force executed a narcotics search
warrant Monday, March 24th, at 226 Hawthorne Circle, Fort Walton
Beach. The investigation was initiated after citizens voiced concerns that
narcotics were being sold at this residence.
Their concerns were based on routinely seeing multiple cars coming and
going from the address at various hours throughout the day.
One of the residents of this address, 50-year old Judith L. Koran, has been
arrested as part of an undercover operation. Koran sold crack to a confidential
source on two separate occasions. As a result, she’s charged with two counts of
possession of crack cocaine with intent to sell and two counts of sale of crack
cocaine.
During the execution of the search warrant, drug paraphernalia with cocaine
residue was seized, as well as various unidentified pills.
Additional charges are pending in this case.
