“The pills were in the shape of various childlike symbols; Warner Brothers Symbols, fish, stars, pigs, naked ladies and bats,” the department said on Facebook, sharing a photo of the drugs.

Police say they arrested Donald Hill Jr. on charges of trafficking MDMA and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

The department described MDMA as “chemically like both stimulants and hallucinogens, producing feelings of increased energy, pleasure, emotional warmth, and distorted sensory and time perception.”

Darlington police cautioned parents to be on the lookout for pills like the ones they seized and to call 911 if they find any.
