“Each of these sex offenders is either on County Probation or State Parole with terms and conditions that prohibit them from leaving their residences or interacting with trick-or-treaters during the hours of Halloween Festivities,” Anderson PD later reported. They are also prohibited from placing out any Halloween decorations or candy on Halloween night.
