According to a press release from the Lufkin Police Department, officers received a tip about a Facebook account that was posting about plastic eggs full of marijuana hidden in various parks around the city as part of a scavenger hunt.
“The suspect posted four photos on Facebook showing each location as hints to locate the eggs,” the release said. “He also posted a photo of five plastic eggs in the seat of a vehicle. Officers found four eggs and believed he had not placed the fifth.”
Investigators identified Avante Nicholson as the suspect behind the scavenger hunt by combing through his Facebook account, the release said.
“They also found statements referencing selling narcotics on multiple occasions and in the posts, he states whoever ‘shopped’ with him the day of the scavenger hunt would get hints to the locations of the eggs,” the department wrote in the release.
