The GOP chair of a local elections board in North Carolina has been arrested and charged for allegedly putting MDMA and cocaine in his grandchildren’s ice cream.
James Yokeley — a Republican who was selected to chair the Surry County Board of Elections in June — flagged down an officer at a Sheetz convenience store to inform him that his two granddaughters found pills in their Dairy Queen Blizzards, according to the Wilmington Police Department.
