Description
A man has been arrested after the Pueblo Police Department said he falsely reported the kidnapping of a 13-year-old family member Wednesday night, resulting in an Amber Alert sent to cellphones across Colorado.
After police received information that the kidnapping report was false, Daniel Reyes, 34, told police why he did it. His truck had been stolen before, and he said he thought that if he called police, he wouldn't get an immediate response. So he said he made up the story of a kidnapped girl to get a faster response, according to the arrest affidavit in the case.
The pictures that he provided of the supposed missing girl were of a girl he knew and were taken three years ago, police said.
