Only in 2025 could we come across a headline like this — a Texas man turning an innocent Easter egg hunt into something completely unexpected!
In Lufkin, Texas, police are searching for Avante Nicholson, who reportedly decided to “spice up” Easter Sunday by hiding marijuana inside plastic eggs. Yes, you read that right. Weed. In Easter eggs. Found in city parks and even at a motel.
It sounds unbelievable, but it really happened, and now Nicholson is facing serious legal trouble. Let’s take a closer look at this strange and unexpected event.
What Happened During the Easter Egg Hunt?
According to a Facebook post from Lufkin police, a concerned resident tipped them off after spotting suspicious Easter posts online. The police investigated and found plastic eggs filled with marijuana scattered across three city parks and one motel.
One man and his granddaughter even found an extra egg and handed it over to the police. In total, officers collected over a quarter ounce of marijuana.
Chief David Thomas commented, “It seems implausible that someone would just give away drugs,” but it looks like that’s exactly what happened.
What Charges Is Avante Nicholson Facing?
Nicholson is now facing four serious charges:
- Three felony charges for delivering marijuana in a drug-free zone (such as parks).
- One state jail felony.
Delivering drugs in places where kids and families gather makes the charges even more serious. Luckily, no children were harmed by finding these eggs.
