CHARLOTTE, NC — A 4/20 celebration at a downtown Charlotte marketing firm went sideways Monday afternoon when a security guard assigned to the building unknowingly consumed an entire tray of cannabis-infused brownies that an employee had left in the third-floor break room, prompting a partial building evacuation after the guard was found “conducting a very thorough security check” of the same supply closet for 45 consecutive minutes.

Raymond “Ray Ray” Diggs, 56, a contract security guard employed by Allied Sentinel Security Services, discovered the brownies at approximately 11:30 a.m. in the break room of Creekstone Marketing. The brownies were in a foil pan with a handwritten note that read “4/20 TREATS — ENJOY RESPONSIBLY,” which Diggs later told investigators he interpreted as a reference to portion size, not psychoactive content.

One Tray. Twelve Brownies. Forty-Five Minutes in a Closet.

Coworkers grew concerned when Diggs, typically described as “very serious and very punctual,” was seen standing motionless in front of the elevator bank at 12:45 p.m., staring at the floor indicator lights and quietly narrating their movement. He then reportedly entered a supply closet on the second floor at 1:15 p.m. and did not emerge.

“We knocked on the door at 2 p.m. and he said, ‘I’m checking every shelf. There are a lot of shelves. I think there are more shelves than there were this morning.’ That’s when we called 911.” — Creekstone Marketing Office Manager Diane Tuttle

Paramedics evaluated Diggs on scene and determined he was in no medical danger, though he was “profoundly relaxed” and had organized every item in the supply closet alphabetically. The employee who brought the brownies, who has not been publicly identified, was terminated. Diggs was not charged but has been placed on administrative leave by his employer pending review.

Diggs was not booked, but his incident report has been submitted to JailReport.lol by a Creekstone employee and published with his permission. He told reporters the following day that he “doesn’t remember most of the afternoon” but acknowledged that the supply closet “has never been more organized” and that the brownies “were, in fairness, delicious.”
