VAN BUREN, Ark. (AP) — Authorities in Crawford County have made a sweep of known sex offenders to remind them they can't give out candy to trick or treaters on Halloween.

Fort Smith television station KFSM reports numerous agencies are taking part in what they're calling "Operation Safe Scare."

Law officers targeted 128 sex offenders living in Crawford County. During the sweep, three convicted offenders were arrested for failing to register. Also two others were charged — one for sexual battery and one for stalking a child.

Deputies asked sex offenders to put up Halloween signs saying, "No trick, no treat, no candy."

Investigators say they couldn't find 25 of the convicted sex offenders. More arrests are possible.

Maybe I'll send your comment william69 to an attorney out of state who's working a case for me as reflective of the over all hate mentality in Arkansas towards gays.

And while their at it william69 round up all of the redneck hetero's, homophobes and racist aholes like you and ship their butts off to Iraq and Pakistan. Because it's a fact more than half of all child molesters are heterosexual.

And while your at it round up all the homosexuals and illegal aliens and ship them out of our state. The practice of homosexuality is on the same sick level as child molesters and should be treated as such.
