NJ Man Accused of Tampering With His Halloween Candy

Police say a southern New Jersey man made up a story about finding needles in Halloween candy.

Gloucester Township police say 37-year-old Robert Ledrew on Sunday told them he found four sewing needles in four separate pieces of candy from trick-or-treating.

But officers discovered Ledrew had posted a photo of a needle and comments about the incident on Facebook the day before.

Authorities have charged Ledrew with making a false police report.

It's not known if he has a lawyer who can comment on the charge.
