Can't Trust those Trick-or-Treaters (Heard in the Hall)

Can't Trust those Trick-or-Treaters

Inspector General Seth Williams went undercover on Halloween to investigate a suspected violator of Philadelphia’s employee residency requirement.
Williams, decked out as a Rastafarian, deputized his 3-year-old daughter (aka DeeDee Doodlebop) and 7-year-old daughter (aka Violet Incredible) and went to Lansdowne to knock on the door of a Department of Human Services employee who swears he lives in the city. Williams said the man, whose name he wouldn’t release because the investigation is continuing, answered the door when they knocked about 8:30 p.m. He told them he wasn’t giving out candy.
“The trick was on him,” Williams said. Residency violators be warned: Make sure you look twice at Santa. And the elves.

I'm telling you, I don't trust those Doodlebops as far as I can throw them.
