2.) If you’re going to be driving during trick or treat hours tonight, you do need to be extra careful behind the wheel. According to Triple-A, Halloween night is the most deadly for pedestrians.

3.) In South Florida, authorities have uncovered a massive football gambling operation, where as much as $100,000 dollars was wagered on a championship game. While illegal in most of our country, gambling on football is not unusual. Except in this case where the wagers were being placed on pee wee football contests. Coaches would meet before games and set point spreads while parents would place bets in the stands.
