BREAKING | 25-year-old Carlee Russell is staring down the possibility of a year behind bars after cops in Hoover, Alabama, slapped her with charges for faking her kidnapping and lying to cops.
Russell, 25, turned herself into cops on Friday and immediately bonded out, Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis said in a press conference. She faces two misdemeanor charges that carry up to a year in prison and $6,000 in fines if convicted.
“As we know, actions can have consequences,” Derzis said. “I know many are shocked and appalled that Miss Russell is only being charged with two misdemeanors despite all the panic and disruption her actions caused. Let me assure you—I, too, share the same frustration, but existing laws only allow the charges that were filed to be filed.”
Hoover has already admitted that her elaborate story—that she was abducted by an orange-haired man and held in the woods for 48 hours after initially stopping to help a toddler found walking alone by an interstate—was a total farce. The admission came after her parents and boyfriend had insisted she’d “fought for her life” for those 48 hours.
