Mom Finds Blade In Daughter's Halloween Candy: Police

BEAVERTON, OR — The Washington County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday morning received a report that a Beaverton mom found a small blade in her 13-year-old daughter's Halloween candy.

Deputy Jeff Talbot, spokesman for the sheriff's office, said Tiffany Beehler took her children trick-or-treating the night before in the neighborhood around their home, close to the intersection of Northeast Cornelius Pass Road and NW/NE Quatama Road, in what is technically unincorporated Washington County.

Later Halloween night, Beehler's daughter reportedly came to her with a blade embedded in a bite size Twix bar. The blade may be from a pencil sharpener, Talbot said, adding that he is unsure if the candy was completely sealed before the 13-year-old girl opened it.

At this time, police have no way of determining where the danger candy came from, but Talbot encourages parents to thoroughly check their children's candy and educate their kids to the possible dangers.

Calls to Beehler were not immediately returned.

Police ask anyone with information about this incident to call non-emergency dispatch at 503-629-0111.
