Yes, a small packet of methamphetamine, right there in her kids friggin’ candy. Police are investigating how the packet landed in the child’s Halloween candy bag and say it was slipped in Tuesday evening. The child is not thought to have ingested any of the powder, but in the half-inch-wide and half-inch-long zip-top bag, any trace amount could have spilled out.
