Reports of Kidnapping in Carnesville Tuesday False

A post circulating on social media regarding a kidnapping in Carnesville is not true.

The post states multiple law enforcement surrounded the Hasty Mart in Carnesville Tuesday regarding the kidnapping of a 12-year-old.

WLHR News checked with Sheriff Steve Thomas shortly after the post began circulating.

Thomas said there was no kidnapping nor anything even close.

Deputies were at the Hasty Mart, he said, regarding an abandoned vehicle.

He said the owner of the vehicle was contacted and that ended the matter.
