On Monday, March 13, 2023, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office released an update on Spring Break arrests.
- According to the update, four individuals, aged 18 and 19-years old, were pulled over for reckless driving.
- During the traffic stop, law enforcement officials found fake IDs, marijuana, vapes, and paraphernalia.
The OCSO notes that possession of a fake driver’s license is a felony and Deputies are urging people to avoid using fake IDs.
The Sheriff’s Office has also issued 132 notice to appear citations for underage possession of alcohol, nearly doubling since Friday’s report.
During last year’s Spring Break season, the OCSO issued 659 NTAs to underage drinkers, ranging in age from 14-years-old to 20.
- Out of these NTAs issues last year, 144 were issued to high school students, while 502 were given out in the Destin area, 153 on Okaloosa Island, and four others in the rest of Okaloosa County.
