Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office deputies have issued 382 citations so far this spring break — and the season still has three weeks left.

Among the enforcement highlights: Deputies recently caught an underage group with a truck bed full of alcohol that OCSO said “looked more like it was stocking a small convenience store than a beach weekend.” Rather than confiscating it, deputies made the group pour out the supply themselves, can by can.

Okaloosa County maintains a zero-tolerance policy for underage possession of alcohol. The sheriff’s office has made clear it intends to keep that pace up through the end of the season.

  1. Leave the spring breakers alone, unless they are drunk, rowdy and causing trouble. It’s a spring tradition that helps young people learn to interact with strangers

    1. That’s right! Once they have killed someone while driving drunk they are fair game. Until then they are just goofing off, so leave them alone

  2. There speeding through lights like mad.
    Racetrack and heading into Shalimar.
    They need tickets .

  3. Haha, I’ve seen them (OCSO) do this. Group of kids at a beach house. Truck bed full of beer, pouring it all out in the front yard. The demoralizing factor works just as well if not better than consfication.
