Several charges dismissed against man accused of drugging ice cream

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Several charges have been dismissed against a man accused of drugging ice cream.
Footage from that Dairy Queen allegedly showed Yokely putting the pills into the teen’s ice cream.
According to a legal document, three charges were dropped against Yokeley on December 22 due to insufficient evidence to warrant prosecution.
Those charges were two counts of contaminate food/drink with controlled substance and felony possession schedule I controlled substance.
The dismissal notice said, “Lab testing confirmed the substance was not a controlled substance under NCGS [North Carolina General Statutes].”
Yokeley was also charged with felony child abuse in August 2025. That charge was not listed in the dismissal notice.
