Mister Softee Selling More Than Ice Cream
A driver for Mister Softee ice cream trucks in New York was busted for selling marijuana and cocaine to "certain customers". NY Daily News:
For certain customers, Jermaine Jordan, 26, of St. Albans, would double-cup his cold concoctions - tucking the drugs neatly between the two containers and giving new meaning to the term coke float, authorities said.
"People would approach and place their order," a police source said. "The bottom of their cup would contain their purchase, either cocaine or marijuana."
Jordan was arrested as he made his usual stop in front of Intermediate School 8 in South Jamaica - just as kids were being dismissed from summer camp, police said.
Parents outside IS 8 said they were disgusted by the alleged drug-dealing - especially since the suspect is a man they had come to know from his three years of driving the ice-cream truck.
"We trusted this guy. We send kids out there every day. I feel betrayed," said Donald Williams, 53, who regularly gave money to his granddaughter for ice cream.
"I been here for 40 years and ain't never would've thought Mister Softee was dealing drugs. Not Mister Softee."
