    Damn. So desperate to be a victim, he made victims of his own grandkids. Piece of trash. The ironic part is he was caught by the surveillance state he no doubt supported till now.

    According to Raleigh, North Carolina NBC affiliate WRAL News, on August 8, 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 on Oleander Drive.

    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.

      This is MAGA/the Republican party in a nutshell. Getting people worked up and freaking out chasing imaginary LGBTQ+/Dem/woke bogeymen while their own members are literally harming children.

        He probably wanted to generate a story about a minority endangering his pure white grandkids, or just a simple scam against the company for a settlement.
