I want the one with crack in it’s head!
Two Sioux Empire Fair carnival workers have been arrested after police intercepted a package containing 37 grams of crack cocaine.
On Saturday, Sioux Falls Police were tipped off by Texas authorities about a shipment of drugs that was headed to the area.
Police were able to intercept the package before it was delivered and found a Lalaloopsy doll inside. Inside the head of the doll was 37 grams of crack cocaine.
Police repackaged the doll and the drugs and delivered it to a southwest Sioux Falls hotel. The man who received the package claimed it was for a friend.
Authorities ultimately arrested both men, 35-year-old Louis Frank Deak of Lawton, Oklahoma and 55-year-old John Thomas Whitfield Jr. of Houston, Texas.
Police say both men worked in the ‘kiddie land’ area at the Sioux Empire Fair.
Deak and Whitfield face numerous drug charges and will be in court Monday afternoon.
“Mommy! Those two guys running Kiddie Land are really hyper, and a little sweaty!”
