Too bad her wig wasn’t stolen.

A Florida woman who earned the sympathy of her community after reporting that her kids’ Christmas gifts were stolen out of her home has been arrested for falsely reporting that crime. WKRC and Fox News report on the case of 39-year-old Shana Hudson, who, according to a Facebook post by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, had called in a supposed burglary at her Lehigh Acres home on Nov. 19. The detectives who were investigating the case felt especially sorry that, in addition to other items, Hudson’s gifts to her kids had apparently been taken, and so they took the time to reach out to the American Legion and the sheriff’s office’s “Shop With a Cop” program to arrange for new gifts for Hudson’s children.

However, an anonymous tip to the local Crime Stoppers busted Hudson—information received in that call led cops to uncover that she’d lied about what had happened, and the “stolen” gifts were soon found stashed at a relative’s home, per the Facebook post. Hudson was charged with fraud in the form of a false report to law enforcement.

    Florida woman. All the crazy drains into Florida.

    I think you are 100% correct there. They moved from California to Florida, okay with me. One crazy moved down there recently and they’re going to buy and flip houses – specifically Tallahassee. I know for a fact they haven’t done their homework for that area. They’re going to get burned.
