A North Carolina elected official was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly lacing his two granddaughters’ ice cream with drugs.

On August 8, James Yokeley, 66, reportedly flagged down Wilmington police at a Sheetz gas station and claimed his granddaughters found two pills in a Blizzard they purchased from a nearby Dairy Queen. However, police said surveillance footage showed Yokeley putting the pills in the girls’ ice cream, according to WITN.

The girls did not ingest the pills — which tested positive for MDMA and cocaine, WECT reported..

The Dairy Queen’s owner told WECT that Yokeley came into her store on August 3 — five days before he flagged down officers — and ordered Blizzards for his granddaughters. Four employees were reportedly on duty at the time.

The owner said police came to her establishment on August 8 to request surveillance footage.

“Thank goodness we had video,” she commented.

Yokeley was charged with contaminating food or drink with a controlled substance, child abuse, and possession of Schedule I narcotics. According to WECT, he resigned on Thursday as chair of the Surry County Board of Elections. He was elected to the position in July.

“Based on the truth and facts, I remain prayerfully confident that I will be exonerated of all accusations levied against me,” Yokeley said in letter addressed to Auditor Dave Boliek, who called for his resignation hours earlier.

Port City Daily reported that Yokeley’s bond was set at $100,000. The pills allegedly found in his granddaughters’ Blizzards were sent to a state laboratory for further analysis.
