Fort Walton Beach man charged with intent to distribute narcotics

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — A Fort Walton Beach man has been charged with intent to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO), which said citizen complaints led to the arrest.

According to the OCSO, Eugene Bradley, 34, had 10 grams of methamphetamine, a gram of fentanyl, 27 grams of cocaine, and 48 grams of marijuana when he was arrested following a traffic stop for a traffic violation Tuesday afternoon.

Community Resource Deputy Brian Muhlbach says multiple citizen complaints and Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers tips helped lead OCSO deputies to Bradley, who they suspected of trafficking narcotics out of his Vermont Avenue residence.

“We want to thank all the concerned citizens who noticed and reported suspicious activity at Bradley’s address,'” said Sheriff Eric Aden.

“This is an example of how if you see something and say something law enforcement can take action to investigate and work to get dangerous narcotics off our streets and make neighborhoods safer.”

Bradley is charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and possession of drug paraphernalia, the OCSO said.
