Florida teen in MAGA hat shot himself in elaborate abduction hoax blaming Hispanic men: cops
A Florida teen feared to have been kidnapped by four Hispanic men last week actually faked his own abduction and even shot himself in the leg to as part of the painful, elaborate hoax, authorities said.
Caden Speight, 17, was feared to be in grave danger when he suddenly vanished in Dunellon, north of Tampa, last Thursday with cops initially believing he could have been the victim of a shooting.
His disappearance triggered a desperate search and amber alert after authorities uncovered his abandoned car with evidence of a single gunshot close by, the Marion County Sheriffs Office said.
