Celina police are investigating after a Tootsie Roll that was given to a child while trick-or-treating on Halloween apparently had a sewing needle inside of it, police said.
The juvenile opened the Tootsie Roll on Wednesday and observed the needle before eating it, police said. The trick-or-treater is ok, police said.
He was trick-or-treating in the Carter Ranch neighborhood, police said.
A similar incident happened in Alabama on Nov. 1, police said.
Celina police encourage parents to carefully check their children's candy to make sure it's safe.
