An Ohio woman tied herself up, gagged herself and took incriminating photos of herself to fake a kidnapping, Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said.
Jones said Thelma Williams, 38, of Hamilton, posted photos to social media, saying that someone tied her to a pole in a basement.
Williams said a masked man entered her home early Thursday morning, claiming he tied her up and cut off her clothes, Jones said.
She went on to say that the man used her phone to videotape the event, and later post the videos to her Facebook account, officials said.
A third party called 911.
맥스카지노They hacked her old Facebook account. It has video and a picture of her and it says that they have her and they맥스카지노re going to kill her,맥스카지노 the 911 caller told a dispatcher.
Police initiated a full response — including a helicopter search and closing down a highway — which cost thousands of dollars, Jones said.
As investigators looked at the story closer they found things that didn맥스카지노t add up.
맥스카지노It appears she took the videos herself. We can actually see her waiting for it to come on so she can get her serious face on,맥스카지노 Jones said.
The questioning was intensified by detectives.
맥스카지노Then her story starts unraveling and then we find the story to be totally a fabrication,맥스카지노 Jones said.
Jones said Williams tied herself up and made the posts from a McDonald's.
"You see this all over the country," Jones said, calling it "one of the most bizarre cases" his department has ever had.
Williams daughter was upset that her mother was arrested.
맥스카지노If my mom made this up, it맥스카지노s not for attention. It맥스카지노s because she needs help, not because she needs to be behind bars,맥스카지노 William맥스카지노s daughter, Lorin Karol said.
Jones asked for the woman to be "prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
