In Lee County, the Halloween spirit will be in full swing as children and families take to the streets in costumes tonight. To ensure safety, Sheriff Clay Whelan is stepping up patrols. His aim: a night of treats with minimal tricks.
Special attention will be on those legally restricted from participating in candy distribution. Authorities urge all trick-or-treaters to wear visible clothing or reflective accessories and remind drivers to remain vigilant and sober, especially with Halloween falling on a Thursday this year. Sheriff Whelan also advises drivers to avoid distractions like cell phones to keep the night safe and fun for everyone.
