Spring break 2021 is here and law enforcement in Florida's Panhandle “isn’t messing around” when it comes to underage drinking. The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office and the Walton County Sheriff’s Office will have increased patrols at popular spring break destinations until the season dies down about April 25th. That includes a strict zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking. Okaloosa and Walton counties gradually began increasing the severity of punishments for spring break-related offenses a few years ago in response to incidents such as sexual assaults, alcohol poisonings and fights getting out of hand.
