For the third time in the past week the Okaloosa County Multi-Agency Drug Task Force has made
arrests in connection with suspected drug houses.
In the latest search warrant, executed Monday at 5 Moroni Court near Fort Walton Beach, 38-year old
David Abbott and 29-year old Jessica Foster were taken into custody on charges of possession of
methamphetamine, possession of heroin, and resisting arrest without violence. Foster faces an additional
charge of possession of ammunition by a convicted felon.
The pair were located inside a locked shed on the property that has been converted into living quarters.
They refused to come out but deputies pried open the door and removed them. Inside they also found
meth, heroin, and .25 caliber ammunition.
“Thanks to the efforts of the Drug Task Force three drug houses have now been shut down and eleven
individuals arrested since July 23rd, as we continue focusing on working to clean up our neighborhoods
and get illegal narcotics off our streets,” said Sheriff Larry Ashley. “We’ve seen a record number of
overdoses this year and are working hard to put the people peddling this poison out of business to the
best of our abilities. We want to stress we appreciate the tips that are coming in from our community on
suspected drug houses. We would ask that you keep those tips coming by calling us at 850.651.7400 or
contacting Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers
