Barbie's Toxic Accessory: 5 Deadly Dolls Found @ Toy Store Stuffed w Lethal Drug| Crime Alert 6PM 03.24.2026

Crime alert, hourly update, breaking crime news now.

Barbie usually comes with a dream house or a convertible or even can.

But one Missouri mom found a lethal add-on that nearly turned a trip to the toy aisle

into a funeral.

Jade Adams was left shaking after a Barbie doll purchased at Cargo Largo in Independence

Missouri became a chemical weapon of sorts.

Adams spoke to Fox 4 K.C.

When he opened it with a knife, it was like poof in the car.

We were like, what is that?

Adams recoiled at the terrifying reality that her child could have inhaled the toxic

cloud.

The Independence Police Department quickly determined this was not a manufacturing

error, but instead a six smuggling tactic.

Others found that exactly five Barbie units had been tampered with, featuring bags of

powder taped between the cardboard and the plastic backing field tests confirmed.

The substance was fentanyl, a synthetic opioid so potent that a few grains can be fatal.

After Adams's mother raced back to the store to sound the alarm, staff filled an entire

shopping cart with the dolls, handing them over to security as the police launched a

frantic hunt for the remaining contaminated units.

Authorities managed to track down and recover all five compromised packages within hours,

confirming that the dolls themselves were clean.

The poison was strictly in the packaging.

While the Independence Police Department stated there is no reason to believe other

retailers received the hot toys.

The investigation into how the deadly drug was taped into a child's plaything continues.

Officials urge anyone who purchased a Barbie at cargo logo between March 19th and March 20th

to check their packaging carefully.

If you have any information on this case or if you bought a similar doll, contact the

IPD Investigations Division tip line 816-836-3600.

Thankfully, no injuries have been reported.

A Florida woman looking to make a quick buck in the world of adult fetish streaming ended

up flushing her freedom right down the toilet after allegedly transforming a pair of Air

B&Bs into a urine soaked production set.

Here's Officer Mike Wood speaking with W-E-A-R-A-B-C-3.

It was a young lady inside making money in a very unusual way that damaged somebody

else's property.

Nicolette Kio, 31 of Pensacola, was hauled into custody after a horrified property owner

discovered her high-end rentals were being used as the soggy backdrop for golden shower

videos.

The P-Per-View plot unraveled when the host received a tip via the Air B&B app that

Kio was urinating on everything in sight from a vintage record player to the kitchen

toaster and then monetizing the liquid carnage on a fetish website.

The scale of the urine-filled rampage is enough to make any host gag.

According to Pensacola Police, Kio did not stop at the bathroom.

Kio allegedly drenched an antique crown royal chair, a bed, a flat screen TV and even an

electric fireplace in the North Gulmarth Street unit.

Not content with ruining just one home, the so-called content creator allegedly moved to

a second rental on the same street to soak a tiger rug and an accent wall bringing the

final tally of destruction to a whopping 5,355 bucks.

Kio who flashed a chillingly proud smile in her mug shot was hit with felony criminal

mischief charges due to the high value of all the destroyed property while she has since

been relieved, I mean, released on bond, Air B&B officials confirmed they have permanently

banned her from the platform and are scrambling to process the owner's reimbursement through

their air cover protection program.

And finally, talk about a fitting end to a hotel stay.

Farron Fullerton 53 gave Brevard County Deputies a fashionable shock when they responded to

a trespassing call at a local Florida Inn after allegedly refusing to vacate his room.

Fullerton was discovered sporting a classic striped inmate uniform, which investigators

later unpicked as stolen property from the Mitchell County jail.

While Sheriff Wayne Ivey joked that Fullerton took dressing for success a bit too literally,

the suspect did not go quietly into the night allegedly resisting the cuffs.

Now officially checked into the Brevard County jail on charges of press passing and resisting

an officer without violence, this stylized suspect is finding out that a stolen jumpsuit

is a one-size-fits-all ticket to a cell.
