'Halloween Meth' Found In Wisconsin

KESHENA, WI — Crystal meth was found in a child's Halloween candy on the Menominee Indian Reservation Monday. A parent reported finding a small, yellow plastic bag with crystalline powder after their kids had been trick-or-treating in the Keshena area, tribal police said.

Police said the powder tested positive for methamphetamine. They asked the community to thoroughly check all their children's Halloween candy and strongly encouraged them to dispose of it.

So far, there has only been one report of drugs in candy, and investigators told WLUK they don't know if the meth was given out accidentally.

"We're not sure," said Menominee Tribal Police Detective Josh Lawe, "It does look like this is an isolated incident, we haven't received any other reports."

Police reminded parents to stay vigilant during Halloween.

"Nowadays, nothing's off the table," Tribal Police Chief Mark Waukaw told WLUK. "Keep an eye on your kids, keep an eye on your candy."

Watch Now: Trick Or Treat...Or Meth

Collection stations have been set up for parents to get rid of their parents candy, and tribal leaders have also asked parents to drop off any trick-or-treating containers, according to the station. Officials are accepting candy and bags at Keshena Veterans Park and the Neopit Fire Station from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday.
