Man Charged in Trick-Or-Treat Thefts
(11-02) 14:25 PDT CINCINNATI (AP) --Bullies have been poaching Halloween candy from smaller kids since trick-or-treating began, but police say a Cincinnati man went too far this year in helping a younger cousin fill his goody bag. Derrick Finn, 21, has been charged with complicity to aggravated robbery.
“He served as the lookout while his cousin stole someone’s Halloween candy,” said Betsy Sundermann, an assistant Hamilton County prosecutor.
Finn took some cousins out for beggar’s night on Wednesday and was arrested later that evening after the alleged victim pointed him out to police. He remained in jail Friday pending a court date next week. Bond was set at $5,000.
A 15-year-old has been charged with misdemeanor robbery, and a 14-year-old has been charged with misdemeanor complicity to robbery, prosecutors said.
Finn’s lawyer said suggested the candy hardly was enough to cause the level of crime to rise to a felony.
“Depends on what kind of candy it is,” Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Lisa Allen responded.
I write. A lot.
I also design stuff and collect funny things kids say. Oh, and please buy my book. It's very funny.
I also review books and keep track of them in The Mommy Blog Amazon Book Store.

My son was in the same room as me when I was getting dressed one day. I scratched the top of my left breast a little and he said, “Mommy, you are touching your —-!”
I said to him, “I just have an itch,” to which he responded, “That’s *your* excuse!”

Mommy: The tip of what?

After being told to go outside and pick up the dog poop, he goes outside, whines and complains. He comes back in and says, “Mom, I think the dog over-pooped.”

When I woke up one morning with a sore throat, raspy voice, and fever, my three-year-old, Emilie, asked me what was wrong. I said, “Mama has a cold…” and she felt my cheek for a minute before saying, “No. You has a hot!”

We went to my best friends house for her annual Halloween blow out and near the end of the night, after trick or treating a bazillion houses, my 9 year old came asking for money - “just a few quarters”—I’m like ‘for what???’
“Nicole’s selling her candy and I want some.”
Front porch shenanigans....
This, after two bucket dumps into plastic bags, he had so much!!
(Gotta hand it to Nicole though!)

heh. I really liked that judge’s comment!
Shame on those guys. Fifteen years old and stealing candy from a littler kid? And 21 and helping him steal? Grrrrrrr!
