drugging

Aug. 28 (UPI) — The chairman of the Surry County Board of Elections in North Carolina resigned Thursday after police arrested him on suspicion of putting drugs in his granddaughters’ ice cream.

In a news release issued Wednesday, the Wilmington Police Department said officers arrested James Yokeley after an investigation into an incident Aug. 8.

The release said earlier this month, Yokeley flagged down patrol officers outside a gas station to alert them that his two minor granddaughters found two hard objects in ice cream they had just purchased at a nearby Dairy Queen. Field tests determined the objects were illegal narcotics.

Medical professionals evaluated the two girls and determined neither had ingested any substances.

Detectives reviewed security video from the Dairy Queen, which allegedly showed Yokeley putting the pills in the ice cream. Police arrested him Tuesday, charging him with felony child abuse, contaminating food with a controlled substance and possession of a Schedule I narcotic.

He was jailed at the New Hanover County Detention Center and released on $100,000 bond.

County Auditor Dave Boliek called for Yokeley’s resignation from the board of elections Thursday, according to WITN-TV in Greenville, N.C. Yokeley sent his resignation letter to Boliek, who appointed him to the position earlier this summer.

“Based on the truth and facts, I remain prayerfully confident that I will be exonerated of all accusations levied against me,” Yokeley said in the letter.

DISGRACED rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of drugging and forcing two women to have sex at Donald Trump’s New York City hotel, a fresh lawsuit claims.

A former bottle service attendant and a woman believed to be her friend filed the bombshell suit against the shamed artist.

Dec. 11 (UPI) — Prominent Miami Beach real estate brothers Alon, Oren and Tal Alexanders have been arrested in connection with sexual assault allegations in Florida and New York, the Miami-Dade State Attorney said on Wednesday.

Katherine Fernandez Rundle said she will give more details on Wednesday afternoon about the arrest and allegation against the brothers after an investigation by the Miami Beach Police Department and the state attorney’s office, with assistance from federal agencies.

Oren and Tal Alexander are the founders of Official, a firm that focuses on luxury real estate properties in Miami, as well as New York City, the Hamptons and Los Angeles. The brothers have faced civil sexual assault lawsuits in New York.

Oren Alexander faces three charges of second sexual battery with a bond of $150,000. Alon Alexander is facing one second-degree felony sexual battery, but bail has not been set. Charges against Tal Alexander were not immediately known.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York also has scheduled a news conference for Wednesday afternoon to discuss the brothers and their charges.

In an indictment unsealed on Wednesday, federal authorities are charging the brothers with drugging and raping “dozens of victims” for more than a decade. The brothers face conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion, according to a New York federal indictment.

The lavish lifestyle of the brothers, some of it captured in the New York state civil lawsuits, described the real estate brokers as jet-setting property stars who crisscrossed the country to make expensive residential deals on the East Coast and West Coast.
