Alabama lawmakers strengthen penalties for falsely reporting a crime after Carlee Russell kidnapping hoax
A bill increasing penalties for falsely reporting a crime to law enforcement is heading to Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey's desk.
Lawmakers in the Yellowhammer State passed the bill on Wednesday with a 32-0 vote in the Senate.
Many in the state called for harsher penalties for making a false police report after Carlee Russell faked her own kidnapping off Interstate 459 in the city of Hoover last summer – a case that drew national attention.
