The Carlee Russell hoax has sparked a fire under Alabama lawmakers. CBS 42 reports Alabama Sen. April Weaver (R-Brierfield) has announced plans to file a bill that makes faking an abduction a felony. As Russell faces two misdemeanor charges that could put her in jail for up to a year, Weaver feels that isn't enough. 'Individuals who concoct and carry out sham kidnappings and lead our law enforcement officers on wild goose chases must be given severe penalties for their deceptive actions,' Weaver said in a statement.
