A North Carolina county official was arrested after being accused of putting drugs in his two granddaughters' Dairy Queen ice cream.
James Yokeley Jr., 66, was charged with felony child abuse, possession of a Schedule I narcotic and contaminating food or drink with a controlled substance in connection with the Aug. 8 incident, according to a news release from the Wilmington Police Department.
Police say Yokeley waved down an officer at a local gas station, telling them that his granddaughters discovered "two hard objects in the ice cream" they bought from a local Dairy Queen.
The children were evaluated, and it was determined that they did not ingest the objects, described by police as "pills".
