It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year.

While Jenner's supporters condemned the costume as "transphobic" and "disgusting" on Twitter, Spirit Halloween, a retailer that carries the costume, defended the getup.

"At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes," said Lisa Barr, senior director of marking at Spirit Halloween. "We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."

Springfield police investigate racial incident involving elementary school students​

By Brooke Spurlock, Staff Writer

Principal says white students were forced to say ‘Black Lives Matter’ on playground.

Springfield police are investigating a report from Kenwood Elementary School that allegedly involved several students and a racial incident.

Officers were called to the school around 10 a.m. Monday about an incident that happened Friday during recess on the playground, according to the police report, which states assault and menacing as the potential offenses.

The school principal told officers that a group of Black students gathered several white students on a spot of the playground “and forced them to state, ‘Black Lives Matter,’ against their will,” the report stated.

The principal said a few of the students who tried to avoid the situation were “chased down and escorted, dragged or carried” back to the spot on the playground, and one student was punched in the head by one of the suspects, according to the report.

The group of students also reportedly recorded the students who were forced to make the statement.

At the time of the report, the principal said the school was still interviewing students who allegedly were involved in the incident.

Springfield City School District officials didn’t provide any additional information, citing the investigation by the Springfield Police Division.

“The Springfield City School District is committed to providing our students with a safe learning environment, where they look forward to attending every day. The district is aware of a situation that occurred at Kenwood Elementary. We are working closely with the Springfield Police Division on this matter to ensure that we maintain that safe environment,” the district stated.

Police in Alaska said a wandering pig that "looked cold" at the side of a road got a lift home in a patrol cruiser.

The Anchorage Police Department posted a photo to Facebook showing the pet pig riding in the back of one of the department's patrol cruisers in Fairview.



"We got a call from a concerned citizen regarding a pig in Fairview, standing on the side of the road, who 'looked cold,'" the Facebook post reads. "We're all familiar with refrigerated bacon, we just never thought we'd respond to a call for service related to that topic."

Police wrote the "portly dude was quite friendly."

Officers were able to identify the owners of the pig, named Elvis Pigsley, and the pet was returned home.
