The Lake County Sheriff's Department is investigating after a razor blade was found inside a piece of candy.
David Mahon, 15, made the dangerous discovery in a Three Musketeers bar. The teen picked up the candy after a night of trick-or-treating.
He said he found the razor blade after noticing the wrapper had been tampered with.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office is now looking for the person responsible and urging others to take a close look at their holiday stash.
"In light of this incident, we really want to get the word out to the community and ask parents to do very thorough checks of their children’s candy prior to them eating it and if they see anything like this, or anything similar, to contact us," said John Herrell, a Lake County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson.
Investigators will continue to look for fingerprints and other evidence from the candy bar and its wrapper.
They said whoever is responsible for tampering with the treat will face attempted aggravated assault charges, which is a third degree felony.
