CINCINNATI — 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.
