ABILENE, Texas — Halloween is just about a month away, but residents in one northwest Abilene neighborhood had an early visit from a trick-or-treater. 

Abilene police say they got several calls from residents on Minter Lane about a woman who was ringing doorbells and demanding Halloween candy. Residents also complained she was yelling profanities. 

The calls started coming in around 4:21 a.m. Thursday. When officers arrived in the neighborhood, they found the suspect, Rebecca Garcia, still outside a home. Police said in a report Garcia did not appear to know where she was. Officers said Garcia also didn't make any sense when answering their questions. 

Officers arrested Garcia for disorderly conduct. Specifically, her use of vulgar language in a public place.
