According to police, they got a tip from a resident about a post they saw on Facebook. Following up on the tip, officers found eggs in three city parks as well as at a motel.
“The suspect posted four photos on Facebook showing each location as hints to locate the eggs. 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. However, the fifth egg was found by a man and his granddaughter at Winston Park the following day and brought to the police station,” Lufkin Police said.
Digging deeper into Nicholson’s Facebook page, police say they discovered statements referencing selling narcotics on multiple occasions and in the posts, he stated whoever “shopped” with him the day of the scavenger hunt would get hints to the locations of the eggs.
