Daily Fetched: James Yokeley Jr., who led the Surry County Board of Elections in North Carolina, reportedly warned police officers that two teens found hard items in their Dairy Queen ice cream, according to a report from NC Newsline.

The teenagers were his step-granddaughter and her friend.

Video footage seen by Wilmington Police allegedly showed that Yokeley was the one who placed the small blue pills in the desserts.

Field tests showed that the pills contained cocaine and MDMA.

The girls did not end up ingesting the drugs, according to police.

“He can be seen placing something on the counter, and it’s pretty apparent that when the employees make the drinks, he’s trying to observe if anybody’s observing him,” Wilmington Police Lt. Greg Willett remarked in a news conference on Friday, per Blaze Media. more
