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.
One theory is the girls found the pill inside and he tried to cover it up.
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.
Yes, I am your bearded granddaughter, and I’ll take a vanilla and medicine flavored ice cream, please.
Could be Münchhausen by proxy.
