Joke’s on her.
A Kansas woman wound up in cuffs after pretending she’d been shot as an April Fools’ prank, police said.
Arnthia Willis, 58, allegedly called her daughter Thursday, told her of the “shooting” and then hung up, according to Wichita outlet KAKE-TV.
Alarmed, the daughter called 911 — prompting more than 15 cops to respond to Willis’ home in full protective gear with guns drawn and EMS in tow.
Officers broke the door down, but found no one inside, the report said.
They later learned that Willis was actually at work and had allegedly made up the shooting as a joke.
The prankster was arrested on suspicion of an unlawful request for emergency service assistance.
Police Lt. Ronald Hunt said that while April Fools’ jokes can be “good,” when police become involved, “it’s not funny anymore,” the Wichita Eagle reported.
“This is a situation that is very dangerous,” he said.

What crime is the woman being charged with?
Guilty.
Almost as stupid as voting for Biden...which I’m sure she did.
Every day is April Fool’s Day with Biden in the White House.
I’ll take a guess here: Walmart?
Not sure because she did not call emergency services her daughter did.
“Officers broke the door down”. Hopefully, the city won’t have to pay for the door.
Needlessly causing responders to abandon the "Hot Donuts Now" notification
15 cops? This is where we are. Pathetic.
She recklessly threw her fam into a tizzy, that’s for sure!
Look at the expression on her face in the mug shot. She's all like "this is so ridiculous".
The city will pay for the door. They will be sued for the property damage. Count on it.
What is your objection to the number of cops sent to respond to an unknown situation, perhaps an active shooter?
“What crime is the woman being charged with?”
I don’t know, but when time and resources for first responders are wasted as the result of a hoax, perps are punished — usually large fines. Fifteen people responded. She didn’t call 911, but she set the wheels in motion. What did she think her daughter was going to do?
The crime: Jokes on you!
“they broke the door down but found no one inside, later learning that she was at work”

So they went to her place of work nd shot her there.
Learning that there was no dog available, the police searched the neighborhood for a large vicious dog to shoot also {sarc}
She’s got some issues. Probably didn’t commit a crime but she certainly abused this thing we call society.
Yes, exactly, you can’t blame the daughter. She’s a funny lady this mom!
