BERLIN, GERMANY – MARCH 29: Plastic Easter eggs hang from a bush outside an apartment building on March 29, 2021 in Berlin, Germany. Germany is facing an Easter weekend under lockdown measures that include restrictions on travel as well as the number of people who may gather together. In-person church services will be allowed, though under limitations on the number of attendees. Many churches will also offer streamed services. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
What went wrong when a drug dealer hid weed in plastic eggs as an Easter promo? Well, kids found it.
This East Texas drug dealer had his promo heard by the masses. In a way, that's a great thing! You want your promo getting out and going viral--it's great for business. Of course, only if said business is legal--which it was not in this case. Now, this drug dealer is facing charges after he hid weed in plastic eggs and gave customers hints on where to find them. Bet he didn't plan on a kid finding it first! A guy and his granddaughter found one of the eggs. See a Facebook post shared by the Lufkin Police Department below.

According to KTRE, police are now searching for Avante Nicholson in connection with the eggs. 4 warrants have reportedly been issued for him, 3 of them are for 3rd degree felony delivery of marijuana in a drug free zone and the 4th is a state jail felony for delivering marijuana.
A local resident alerted authorities to a Facebook post promoting the Easter egg hunt. Lufkin Police Chief David Thomas tells KTRE, "Incidents like this are a reminder of why (sic) take seriously all information called in to our offices. On the surface, it seems implausible that someone would give away a drug, but the follow up proves that sometimes even the most unlikely things do happen. The safety of our community is at the forefront of everything we do. And in cases such as this, when it endangers children, we are even more vigilant."
