Teens in Belleville are out of luck this Halloween season. The town has a Halloween ordinance that has been in place since 2008 requires trick-or-treaters to be 12 years of age or younger. Trick-or-treating outside of that age range is considered “Halloween solicitation”, a spooky sounding accusation with an even spookier fine. Solicitation could lead to a fine of up to $1,000, a steep punishment for kids looking to have fun.
