A bag hanging from a Denton woman’s front door left a nasty surprise — one that could lead to charges.
On Saturday evening, the 39-year-old woman received a text message from someone she knew who stated that he’d left a package for her on her front door, she told police.
According to a police report, when she reached inside the bag, she felt something prick her finger. When she looked inside the bag, she found an uncapped syringe and called police.
Officers were dispatched to the 4000 block of Interstate 35E, according to the report, in reference to suspicious activity. The case is pending.
