Trick-Or-Treat? Boy Finds Meth, Cash In Candy Bag

RAMSEY, Minn. (WCCO) ― Police in Ramsey, Minn. say a 7-year-old boy got more than he expected in his Halloween bag this year.

Someone dropped 2.2 grams of methamphetamine and $85 into the bag of Lars and Shelly Brosdahl's son. They found the drugs and baggie of money after he dumped out his Halloween candy.

Police said they were in the neighborhood trying to find a man accused of assault. They think a teenager who had the drugs saw the police, got scared and dumped his stash in the boy's bag.

The next day, police handed out fliers in the neighborhood near the 15500 block of Yakima in Ramsey, warning parents to check their children's candy. Police said nobody else got any meth.

The good news for the 7-year-old: If no one comes forward in the case, the boy gets to keep the money.
