WESTFIELD, Ind. - Westfield police are asking for the community's help while investigating an unusual crime committed on Halloween. Doorbell camera footage from a home in the Villages of Oak Manor subdivision captures the moment one woman was expecting to greet some kids with candy around 7:48 p.m. on Halloween. But instead of trick-or-treaters, she opened the door to a cup full of glitter. "When I answered, I said, 'trick or treat,' and he said 'trick or treat,'" recalled Kailly Stanich. "I heard something hit the door. I looked behind me and just saw glitter everywhere – all over my son, all over my dog." Kailly Stanich said she bent down just in time before the masked suspect in a shark costume pulled a cup from behind his empty candy bag, chucked it into her home and took off. “My neighbor who was sitting outside, he said he saw him walk between the houses and come directly to my house," Stanich said. "Then, when he ran, he ran back that way. It’s hard to think that it wasn’t targeted, that it wasn’t directed towards us.” At first, she didn't know what to make of the sparkly surprise attack - that Westfield police are now investigating as battery. "The officer that came out – he was very friendly and very helpful. Obviously, with it just being glitter, I know they have a lot of stuff going on, but he did say he thought it could potentially be a hate crime because I have a pride flag outside, and I had some Kamala signs... which would be really disheartening," Stanich added. Also concerning, she said, was how shaken up her 6-year-old son felt. "I just put him to bed and he didn't want to go to sleep because he thought somebody was after us," she said. And, she worried it would make her 15-year-old dog, Henry, sick. "He's old. There's been times where we thought he wasn't going to make it, and this was one of those times," Stanich explained. "Because I just didn't know what the glitter was going to do, how much he breathed in – it was in his eyes, in his nose." Thankfully, the vet gave Henry a clean bill of health. But a few flecks of green glitter still hide in his hair. "He was actually my sister's dog. She passed away in 2014. He's very important to me and that was probably the most upsetting part, aside from my son being scared," she added. Westfield police are urging anyone with information on the suspect to contact the department at 317-804-3200.  “I would just hope that people would do the right thing. It’s got to be somebody’s husband, or son, or something," Stanich said. "You think you know your neighbors and people but now I don't really trust anybody."
