The Oak Bluffs Police Department issued a bulletin warning that Halloween candy must be examined thoroughly after a parent reported finding a loose prescription pill in with their child’s candy. Sgt. Michael Marchand told The Times it was Adderall.
“The family trick-or-treated in the neighborhoods of Vineyard Avenue, Shawmut Avenue, Norris Avenue, and Franklin Avenue,” the bulletin states. “This appears to be an isolated incident;, however, if you find something suspicious, report it immediately to the Oak Bluffs Police Department.”
Det. Jeffrey LaBell is investigating.
I find the story of a loose pill, intentionally placed in children’s candy, a little hard to swallow.
