The Alabama woman who admitted staging her own alleged kidnapping in a two-day disappearance that attracted national media attention is facing charges of two misdemeanors, according to a new report.

Carlee Russell, who called 911 to report that there was an unaccompanied toddler walking alongside a busy interstate highway in the city of Hoover, has been charged with “falsely reporting an incident and “making a false statement to police,” AL.com public safety reporter Carol Robinson tweeted on Friday afternoon.

Carlee Russell was booked into the Hoover City Jail a short time ago and released. Her attorney tells me she is charged with 2 misdemeanors of falsely reporting an incident and making a false statement to police.
