UK man gave cocaine to trick-or-treaters by mistake
Three primary school age children in one English city reaped more than the usual harvest of sweets and chocolates on Halloween when they emptied their trick-or-treat goody bags and found several bags of cocaine.
On Monday， the man who had mistakenly handed out his cocaine stash to the children instead of candy was given a community service sentence in court， the Press Association reported.
英國聯合社報導，這名不小心把古柯鹼、而非糖果收藏分發給小孩的男子，週一被法院判處社區服務。
Apprentice panel-beater Donald Green fished in his pockets for a bag of chewy sweets to give to the youngsters at his door on Halloween， but instead pulled out a plastic pack containing eight bags of cocaine he had bought for 200 pounds earlier that day.
He dropped the drugs into the goody bags carried by the three children， aged eight， six and five， who were out trick-or-treating escorted by their father， an off-duty policeman.
The 23-year-old defendant then closed the door， went back inside the house and put his hand in his pockets to get out his drugs - but instead pulled out the sweets.（Reuters）
