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

[Dre]

I didn't know cocaine came in pill form.

This is what’s really making me wonder… I picture gramps packing powder into capsules?
Which makes me think he wanted them to be found?

If he was really trying to lace the ice cream you’d think he’d mix the powder in… not just stir in pills that wouldn’t dissolve well in something frozen..

Cocaine and MDMA? Bizarre, the whole thing.

James Yokeley Jr. allegedly put pills containing narcotics in his 16-year-old step-granddaughter’s and her 15-year-old friend’s Dairy Queen blizzards.

According to WPD, on Aug. 3, the two teens discovered the pills in their ice cream while in the car with Yokeley. The teen who was driving pulled into a Sheetz parking lot, where they located paramedics.

The paramedics checked the girls before flagging down police in the area.

“I believe the young ladies who were involved in this case, when they discovered the pills, they became very concerned and emotional,” said Lt. Greg Willett of WPD.

The Wilmington Police have officially ruled out all Dairy Queen employees and stated that the store was vital to helping move the case forward.

“I mean, this is a case where video surveillance played a tremendous role and everything has worked out the way it needed to,” said Willett.

At this time, the type of drugs the pills contained has not been confirmed. WPD says the field test showed compounds of MDMA and Cocaine, but a lab test is being done, and other drugs could be identified. There is no timeline for when the results will be available.

OK, this is what their ice cream might have looked like. These are all Blizzards. Might be possible to hide a pill unnoticed in one of these, what with all the candy bits and chunks etc. in them. But you would sure know if you bit into one, because ime, they taste real real bad!

And the post before me said, "WPD says the field test showed compounds of MDMA and Cocaine," which makes more sense to me than saying it was a cocaine pill, because ime, Ecstasy tablets could indeed contain other drugs in them besides MDMA, notably heroin but also cocaine and who knows what else. You just never knew what you were gonna get, kinda like a box of chocolates. Perils of buying them on the street, I suppose.

So we know now they are teenagers. But where was Grandpa in this story? I don't see him mentioned when they describe them finding the paramedics in a nearby parking lot. So it wasn't him who flagged down police to report it after all. Maybe he stayed behind at DQ. Maybe he discouraged them from even reporting it, and they left without him.

Yes, I didn't realize they were TEENS and that one was a friend, not his granddaughter.

This changes my opinion big time.

I now think he had nefarious intentions about the girls and not a plan to blame DQ workers.

One scenario is not better than the other, but....what a gross grandpa.

I didn't know either so looked it up the other day. There are pill forms. And, he could've packed his own.

Just add that search to the list of concerning google searches on my computer. Please vouch for me if it's ever needed - none of this is for personal reasons but for WS educational purposes!

I still want to know where Gramps was getting his supply. Has he done this before??

These were ice cream cones bought prepared. He’d have a short period of time to contaminate them before giving them to the girls.

My first suspicion was he wanted to create a moral panic. “Evil people tried to drug my grandkids! We must remove them from society.” Because moral panics sell well these days.

That was my first thought, too, when I thought the girls were younger and HE was the one who sought help. I thought he wanted to cast aspersion on the DQ, creating a drug-pushing "pizza gate" drama to rile people up.

The scenario is different than first reported.

Now I think he was targeting the teen girls for his own pleasure. Taking them to get ice cream only to drug them is so stupid it's like a cartoon evil person.

And they would notice the texture too! Maybe Gramps thought the pills would dissolve.

I think we'll find out that the perp isn't very bright.

This is so bizzarre, and also very disturbing.

I'm so curious about timeline and logistics...because it all sounds so weird.

dbm. I had wrong info.

Listening to the news segment at the link - one of the girls was his STEP-granddaughter and other was a friend. LE seems solid with the video that shows the guilt of the perp, but the perp maintains he is falsely accused. He lives in Wilmington.

I wonder about the ethnicity of the employees at DQ. I do think he had nefarious ideas about the girls. Where does Grosteque Gramps get his pills?

So many questions about this very strange case. Glad he was arrested, the crime in on video and hopefully this is not swept under the rug with a slap on his wrist.

Ew.

MOO: Building on this... This almost had to be premeditated, right? Surely he didn't just happen to have two pills in his pocket and impulsively sneak them into the girls' blizzards. I wonder if he has a grudge against a specific DQ employee or wanted to prove a point about someone (possibly based on ethnicity, as you implied). (Although I still think it's more likely he was trying to drug the girls and didn't expect to get caught, especially now that we know he wasn't the one who flagged down the police.)

All of this is just my opinion.

It doesn't sound like he was even WITH them when they reported it. This alone, to me, is a major argument against the possibility that he was trying to make DQ look bad or planning a lawsuit against them.

I don’t think cocaine is a typical “date rape” drug. To the contrary, wouldn’t cocaine make the victims more alert? I’m inclined to agree that the intent here was to create a “moral panic.” JMO.

Disgusting. MDMA, we know what this sicko was up to.

I think everyone is generally aware that street drugs might contain other dangerous substances in them due to poor "quality control" and desire for more profits on the part of ethics-lacking dealers and manufacturers. But here's a quote from an addiction site that says one study found that 89-97% of the illicit drugs they tested contained additional substances including fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin.

I.e. almost every one they tested!

So it would actually be surprising and very unlikely for any pills Grandpa may have used to NOT contain other drugs, at least if the pills he used were not legal drugs, which is what is reported. My assumption is that he bought something "on the street" (probably from someone he knew) that he was told was Ecstasy and the seller was selling as Ecstasy, which contained cocaine as an adulterant and possibly other illicit substances as well, and I believe he did this with the motive of sexually molesting one or both girls while they were under the influence of this inhibition-suppressing and sometimes incapacitating drug. All imo.

Here's the quote referencing that study:

"Those who use illicit substances run the risk of using drugs adulterated with other substances.1 Adulterants (additives) are frequently mixed with illicit drugs to enhance the potency and effects and bulk up the drug’s quantity to increase profits.1 However, adulterants added to street drugs can magnify the dangers associated with using these drugs, including adverse health consequences such as overdose and death.2
One study tested illicit drugs for adulterants and found that between 89% and 97% of them contained additional substances, including fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, and more.1"
