(WGTD)---When is it illegal to possess a Halloween costume? The answer is when you're a registered sex offender. 

Working in partnership with the Division of Community Corrections, the Racine County Sheriff's Dept. Tuesday night arrested three sex offenders for having in their possession Halloween costumes. A fourth offender was picked up for suspected drug use.

A total of 91 checks were made to determine whether the offenders were following the rules during trick or treating.
