Complainants reported that on the previous day, one of the her three year olds had sweet tarts in her hand and handed one to her other three-year-old. That child spit it out and reported it tasted like medicine. When asked, the other child stated she got the candy from a gumball machine. Complainant stated the kids go around and check the machines for candy and change. She suspects the child found the candy in one of the flaps, as the child had no money to put in the machine. The one pill that remained appears like a normal aspirin tablet. It was retained to be forwarded to crime lab for analysis.
