Fools, Not Ghouls Likely Responsible for Ruining Halloween Decorations
The following information was supplied by the Stow Police Department.
On Oct. 19, a 52-year-old Marbend Drive woman called Stow Police because someone messed up her Halloween decorations — for the third time.
The resident of the 4200 block of Marbend said someone cut and took the string around multiple corn stalks around her front yard, which caused them to fall over.
Other decorations were pulled out of the ground or knocked over, including her pumpkins. A front porch light attached to the side door was also turned sideways, but not damaged.
