NC county elections chair accused of putting cocaine, MDMA in granddaughters' ice cream

Posted 5:40 PM yesterday Updated 6:14 PM yesterday

By WRAL staff

The chairman of the Surry County Board of Elections was charged after Wilmington police said they found evidence he placed illegal narcotics in his granddaughters' ice cream.

On Aug. 8, James Edwin Yokeley Jr. told an officer that his two juvenile granddaughters found two pills in ice cream purchased from Dairy Queen on Oleander Drive.

Investigators discovered video footage that showed Yokeley was responsible for placing the pills into the ice cream for both girls, police said. The pills tested positive for MDMA and cocaine, according to an arrest warrant.

Yokeley didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

probably there, or any other business in that area.
I suspect the guy needs money, and thought he could sue the pants off DQ by claiming that the ice cream was tainted; maybe by trying to claim the ice cream mix itself was tainted with the pills or that an employee at the store itself had put the pills in the ice cream.
