Narcotics task force makes arrests

Posted

OKEECHOBEE -- On Jan. 27, 2022, members of the Okeechobee Narcotics Task Force, with the O.C.S.O. Special Response Team, D.E.A., and H.S.I., executed a probable cause search warrant on the residence located on 25601 N.W. 285TH Drive, Okeechobee, Florida.

Bobby Joe Fulford, Sr., and Tanya Renee Huggins, residents, were found and detained outside the residence without incident. During the search of the home, numerous firearms, live ammunition, methamphetamine and loose marijuana were found.


Fulford and Huggins were charged with possession of a firearm by convicted felons, possession of methamphetamine, sale of methamphetamine within 1000 feet of a state park and possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell within 1000 feet of a state park.

The narcotics task force sends a strong message to those dealing drugs in our community. We will investigate you, and if probable cause is found, arrest and prosecute you.

The "This Drug House Is Closed By Sheriff Noel E. Stephen" sign is proudly displayed for all to see.
