A Niceville man has been arrested and charged by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office for allegedly operating a public nuisance structure for drug activity and possession of drug equipment.

Eddie Hudson, Jr., 37, was arrested on March 27th when the Okaloosa County Multi-Agency Drug Task Force executed a narcotics search warrant at his residence located at 195 College Cove in Niceville. Hudson admitted to selling narcotics and allowing people to use drugs at his home, according to the OCSO.

During the search, law enforcement found nine people inside the residence, including three juveniles. Three other individuals were also arrested and charged with possession of drug equipment.

Additionally, another individual was charged with obstruction of law enforcement while executing the search warrant.

The Okaloosa County Multi-Agency Drug Task Force, a partnership between the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, Crestview Police Department, Fort Walton Beach Police Department, and Niceville Police Department, focuses on combating the sale and distribution of illegal narcotics in the community.
