According to the OCSO, deputies executed the search warrant on July 13 at home on Brett Street that resulted in the arrest of Larrance Moore, 36, of Crestview, and the seizure of methamphetamine, fentanyl, crack cocaine, and more than $3500 in cash.

Here’s what happened, according to the OCSO: The OCSO Multi-Agency Drug Task Force and Special Response Team (SRT) went to 821 Brett Street and ordered out the occupants. Several complied immediately, but SRT operators said they spotted movement in Moore’s bedroom. After a window was broken, Moore came out of the home holding a cell phone and car keys, said the OCSO.

A search of his bedroom is alleged to have turned up three grams of fentanyl, drug paraphernalia, and more than $3500 in cash. Investigators said they found 86 grams of meth, 27 grams of fentanyl, 11 grams of crack cocaine, and more in the trunk of a car.
