A report to the authorities took a sudden twist when deputies arrived at a home in the 17800 block of Alpine Brook Lane, acting on a call regarding a juvenile with a gun. The incident, which occurred yesterday, quickly unfurled to reveal a hoax. An announcement on the Precinct 4 Constable's Office Facebook page detailed that no weapon had actually been displayed during the family disturbance that led to the emergency call.

Monica Thompson was the individual who made the initial call, alleging that a young person, frustrated at being awoken for school, had brandished a firearm. Constable Mark Herman's deputies, spurred into action by the threat of a weapons disturbance, discovered that the claim was unfounded. "Monica Thompson was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with False Report to a Police Officer. He bond was set at $100.00 out of County Court 15," according to the Precinct 4 Constable's Office.

The repercussions of Thompson's act were avoided thanks to the prompt response and investigation by local law enforcement.
