MADISON, Wis. - The Grant County Sheriff's Office is reminding people to check Halloween candy passed out during trick-or-treating after "meth candy" was found in southern Wisconsin, according to our news affiliate WISC.
The Richland-Iowa-Grant Drug Task Force recently came across the candy, according to a notice posted on Facebook by Grant County Sheriff Nate Dreckman.
Dreckman said the meth candy is new to the area. He also said the amount of methamphetamine popping up in the region has grown over the past couple of years.
