    Read the article please! He was trying to make Dairy Queen employees look like they were poisoning kids, not trying to molest the girls. He put pills in their milkshakes and then showed a cop the milkshakes, claiming they came that way. Cops found video of him putting the pills in.

    He’s still a bad man who put his grandkids in harm’s way, or at best used them in commission of a crime.

    This is a wild story, dude flag down an officer at the gas station, told him he thought somebody drugged his grandkids ice cream. Didn’t realize there was surveillance.

      I just have to wonder “why”? What’s the end goal. Risk your grandchild’s safety to sue a Dairy Queen? It doesn’t make sense.

        There’s no telling what his intentions were here.

        It could have been politically motivated.

        He could have dementia.

        Maybe he was high on cocaine and ecstasy, and wanted to share.

        Not enough details are available right now.

          The fact that he flagged down a cop to tell them about it makes it pretty clear that he wasn’t really looking to drug them per se, but rather to cause a legal incident. It may be that he wanted to sue Dairy Queen for profit, or perhaps get someone at the DQ store in trouble, or to blame it on a political group he deems undesirable (immigrant workers, trans people, liberals, etc.). In any event, it’s psychopathic.

          Heres an idea, he was gonna drug them for some trump style picture taking but the kids found the drugs, then he was trapped and had to report it (trying to blame it on someone else) and didnt realize he was caught on surveillance putting the drugs there himself.

    Everyone in the comments seems confused today. The guy was going to rape his granddaughters. He hadn’t planned on them discovering the drugs while they ate the ice cream. Had to play concerned grandparent at that point.

      My guess is he needed new photographic material to give to his dear pedo leader

      Doesn’t seem that way to me.

      Why would he really go to the cops instead of lying and saying he did if he wanted to drug them?

      Sounds like he had some beef with the DQ and wanted to make trouble for them.
