Sheriff’s Office Offering Free Halloween Candy X-Ray Screening

The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office will offer free Halloween candy X-ray screening at the Washoe County District Courthouse and the Mills Lane Justice Center on the day after Halloween. Courthouse security staff will screen candy at the X-ray stations inside the court house entrances from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Wednesday. The Mills Lane Justice Center is at 1 S. Sierra Street and the Washoe County Second Judicial Court is at 75 Court Street, both in downtown Reno. The X-ray machines will detect metal objects only. Parents who believe candy has been tampered with by other means should dispose of the candy immediately. No treat is worth the safety of a child.
