Yokeley approached a Wilmington police officer and claimed his two juvenile granddaughters had discovered two suspicious pills in ice cream they’d purchased from Dairy Queen
Sounds like he wasn't trying to drug them, fortunately I guess. Either way the guy is still off his rocker.
It was him. People on Dairy Queen salary don’t slip mdma into kids ice cream
However, surveillance video later revealed that Yokeley himself was seen placing the pills into both of the girls’ treats. The pills reportedly tested positive for MDMA and cocaine, as noted in an arrest warrant. The authorities said they have evidence he slipped drugs into the girls' ice cream.
Sounds like he wasn’t trying to drug them
How did you come to that conclusion?
They mean he set up the drugs to report and create some kind of spectacle, instead of adding them to drug the grandkids.
Intended to drug the ice cream, didn't intend to let the grandkids consume the ice cream.
Yeah about that, why not drug his own ice-cream or coffee, he'd be sure he could cause a ruckuss then. Now he planned to drug kids, "hoping" they'd notice it and taking the risk they wouldn't.
It's all very fishy.
He has to frame it to SAVE THE CHILDREN or some such.
How do you come to this conclusion? Comment below you got it right. He tried to drug them, they found out, he tried to save face. Him approaching the officer first does not indicate his innocence.
Welcome to North Carolina. This state is so gerrymandered that we have Virginia Fox.
The drag queens have done it again
Overlook the creepiness and realize that this man tried to cosby two little girls, in his custody, with ice cream, and failed. So he's pathetic even among other pedophiles.
MAGAs main characteristic is hatred, but incompetence is a close second. Bonus for every accusation being a confession.
It's a different kind of scummy going on here; he didn't want his grandkids to actually eat it, he wanted to get media attention and stoke more fear in his base. It would be like someone slipping razors into their own kids candy to rage-bait about Halloween being unsafe.
To be clear, this isn't any better than the alternative; he put his grandkids in danger for a publicity stunt that could have very easily resulted in them consuming the drugs. Which also raises the question how how he got that cocaine in the first place.
From his usual hook up I'm sure.
You read this and the first question is why? Its also the least likely to ever get answered. Settle for the what he did and make sure he can't do it ever again. Of course in todays world trump will give him a medal.
The mdma kind of makes me think he was planning on molesting them. He is also a republican, so it tracks.
wow grandparent of the year award. seems like he wanted to play the victim and have a "personal story" about drugs. he should be treated as if his intentions were to sexually molest his granddaughter after getting her high. get him a taste of his own medicine.
Why would any sane person want to risk damage to their grandchildren just to score some attention and outrage? Oh, republican… right…
Utterly insane. Litteral demons in the flesh. What sick fuck tries to drug his own granddaughters? America really doesn't put forth our best do we? Execute this monster.
He posted a $100,000 secured bond after his arrest and transport to the New Hanover County Detention Center, per the report.
