Many kids continue filling up tonight on their Halloween goodies. But, Oakland County's top cop hopes to seize some of the candy. My TV 20's Dave Leval shows us why the Sheriff wants to share it with
those who were unable to spend Halloween at home.

It's supposed to be a sweet gesture...

"Let it go babe"

But, it leaves some people feeling sour.

"You didn't want to put your candy there?"

Maybe not, but, others have no problem giving up some of their Halloween candy.

"We got too much candy, I thought it's better off to help them out."

Them are half a world away from home.

The candy is going to American troops serving in the War on Terrorism and elsewhere. "The Treats for Troops" campaign is a way of saying thanks. It's the brainchild of Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard.

"You've got men and women serving across the globe and they are doing these things beause of us. It's a little reminder of home that people are thinking of them."

By giving them a sweet taste of home. In Pontiac, Dave Leval, My TV 20 News at 10.
