Texas Man Wanted After Hiding Weed in Easter Eggs at Parks

Only in 2025 would we be reading a headline about a Texas man who turned an innocent Easter egg hunt into a whole different kind of “high” stakes game. 

According to a Facebook post,  Lufkin police are on the lookout for Avante Nicholson, who they say decided to take "Easter surprises" to a whole new level by allegedly stuffing plastic eggs...with marijuana. Yes. Weed. In Easter eggs. Found in city parks and a motel on Easter Sunday, because why not?

According to the post, officers were tipped off by a concerned resident who saw some suspicious Easter flexing on Facebook. Turns out, the eggs — found scattered across three parks and a motel — were traced back to Nicholson. And officers didn’t find just one or two: a man and his granddaughter even found an extra egg and turned it in.

Police collected over a quarter ounce of marijuana. Chief David Thomas said in the post, "It seems implausible that someone would just give away drugs," but here we are, living in the strangest timeline.

Nicholson is now facing four warrants: three felony charges for delivery of marijuana in a drug-free zone and one state jail felony. 

While this is a serious issue, and thankfully no young children were harmed by finding these eggs, what really had me chuckling was the comments on the post. Take a look at some pretty hilarious, sarcastic and relatable responses:

“Yea we ain’t helping yall its just weed find something productive to do it’s folks out here taking people kids go find them”

 

“Arresting a small business owner trying to do a promotional holiday deal for his loyal customers…. Gross”

 

“man i wasn't searching good enough”

Oh the internet. Gotta love it.... sometimes!
