BREAKING NEWS – Lehigh Acres, Florida – A Florida woman who lied to law enforcement that her children’s Christmas presents were stolen was arrested after her “Grinch-like plot” fell apart, according to deputies.
Shana Hudson, 39, called deputies on Nov. 19 and reported a residential burglary in Lehigh Acres, Florida, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
Hudson claimed someone stole several items from her home, including Christmas presents for her children, leaving them without presents for the holidays.
