On July 11, 2024, investigators from the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) received information indicating that Paul Webster, a resident of Ft. Walton Beach, was involved in the distribution of illegal narcotics within Holmes County. Acting on this intelligence, investigators orchestrated an undercover sting operation to apprehend Webster during an illicit transaction in Ponce de Leon.
During the operation, Webster arrived at the predetermined location and engaged in the sale of 2 grams of cocaine and 50 Xanax pills, totaling 13 grams. Following the completion of the transaction, law enforcement officers intervened, leading to Webster’s arrest.
Paul Webster now faces multiple charges, including the sale of cocaine, trafficking in a controlled substance, unlawful use of two-way communication devices, possession of Adderall, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
