Child's Halloween treat was marijuana derivative, not heroin
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}West Virginia police say lab results on a substance found in a child's trick-or-treat bag came back as a derivative of marijuana, not heroin as originally thought.
WSAZ-TV reports the substance was field-tested on Tuesday night in Oak Hill and had tested as heroin. No one was injured, including the 3-year-old girl whose bag it was found in.
The substance was then tested by the West Virginia State Police lab.

Whisman says the girl's mother had called police after finding a dark substance wrapped in a glove.
No arrests have been made in the case.
