An Alabama man was caught red-handed with Easter eggs filled with nearly 200 fentanyl pills, instead of chocolate treats.
The Colbert County Sheriff’s Office announced in a Facebook post that agents with the county’s drug task force detained Jamarious Dequan Qualls, 29, on April 1 around 11:45 a.m.
Police quickly learned that Qualls had a misdemeanor arrest warrant in a nearby county, and the 29-year-old allowed authorities to search his car.
Investigators discovered orange and gold plastic Easter eggs inside his car.
