Five arrested near Niceville during search for drugs

NICEVILLE, Fla.Five people were arrested after the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) executed a narcotics search warrant early Monday morning at a home near Niceville.

Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team members deployed two non-lethal flash-bang devices outside the home at 919 47th Street after no one on the property would respond to the law enforcement presence, the OCSO said in a press release.

The OCSO said the home has been the subject of complaints and is associated with narcotics overdoses, including an overdose-related death.

Four people were ultimately taken into custody for reportedly resisting an officer.

According to the OCSO, resident Patrick Mulcahy was found to have methamphetamine and a rolled-up dollar bill containing meth residue in his possession.
