Boynton Beach has seen its fair share of crime stories, but a recent drug bust has brought a revised definition to what one might expect to find in a lunchbox. According to CBS12, detectives from the Boynton Beach Police Department (BBPD) apprehended Charlie Mcroy after they allegedly discovered cocaine and ecstasy stashed in lunchboxes during a residential search.
After observing Mcroy at his storage unit, long periods often going by with the door closed tightly, BBPD detectives decided to intervene. The officers executed a search warrant at Mcroy's residence, finding a master lock key that led them to more than just a midday meal container. Found within the pink and black lunchboxes were no sandwiches or apple slices, but rather 59 grams of crack cocaine and a firearm, along with doses of ecstasy and MDMA, reported News4SA.
The investigation revealed more than rogue snacks. The detectives also found a USPS box addressed to Mcroy, which contained apparent drug trafficking paraphernalia: glass cookware, a digital scale, plastic wrap, and lingering cocaine residue. The findings place Mcroy in a familiar, albeit precarious situation, nearly a decade following his 2015 conviction for trafficking cocaine in Miami-Dade County.
BBPD reports reveal that McRoy now faces charges including trafficking cocaine, trafficking phenethylamines, illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and violating probation. With strong evidence against him, McRoy remains in custody, and his fate is uncertain as the justice system prepares to handle his case, following the discovery of lunchboxes that concealed harm instead of food.
