A man and woman who were out trick or treating with two children were charged after allegedly punching a deli clerk and stealing packages of cookies Saturday when they became angry over the type of free Halloween treats the Inwood store had given out, police said.
Daquan Rose, 26, of 409 Beach St., Far Rockaway, and Samone Sturgis, 23, of the same address, were charged with robbery and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
They were both held on $3,500 cash or bond at arraignment in First District Court in Hempstead.
Nassau County police said the incident occurred at 3 p.m. while the two were out trick-or-treating with one defendant's brother, 10, and the 9-year-old daughter of a family friend.
Police said the group entered the Burnside Deli, at 267 Burnside Ave., and an argument began with the store's clerk over what type of Halloween treat the store was offering. Both defendants were asked to leave the store.
