The occurrence happened around 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday (June 27) and starting reports (from outside the OCSO) proposed that unfortunate circumstances, perilous riptides, and terrible flows might’ve assumed a part in Mallett’s powerlessness to swim to shore. During Wednesday’s video proclamation, the OCSO denied those underlying reports.
“In spite of far and wide media falsehood, yellow ocean side security banners were flying at that point and there were no signs of any ‘riptides,'” the OCSO composed on Facebook. Sheriff Eric Aden, who shared an explanation in the video, repeated that feeling and affirmed there were no ‘red’ or ‘twofold warnings.

“The whole district, as well as Destin, were not under warnings or twofold warnings in spite of a portion of the misperceptions out there,” Aden said – adding there was ‘no sign of any hazardous circumstances out there.’ While a yellow banner was given at that point, they just use it as an advance notice to ‘swim with alert.’
“It simply is by all accounts an unfortunate mishap and not something to do with the states of the surf or tides or flows,” Aden made sense of while recognizing that it is so hard to lose a vacationer or occupant nearby – particularly to an oddity mishap like this. The OCSO and Destin people group are disheartened by the misfortune.
