ILTexas says the College Station Police Department began an investigation and determined that the student who brought the candy to school and their family were unaware of its contents. One of the students’ parents shuttled non-ILTexas students from a neighboring high school to and from a Halloween event the night before. The parent didn’t know the candy was left behind in the car.

ILTexas student took candy from the back seat on the way to school thinking it was Sour Patch Kids Watermelon Sours. Police determined that the purchase of this candy was unintentional and accidental and no malicious intent was involved. All parties are fully cooperating with the investigation and no criminal charges will be filed.
