Couple fakes murder; 4 police departments respond
A man and woman in Newaygo County set up a murder scene to trick their friends -- and the prank worked a little too well.
Sheriff's deputies from Newaygo and Oceana counties and police from the Fremont and Hesperia police departments responded to a residence in the 9000 block of West 8th Street in Fremont on Tuesday after a report of a murder, according to a release from the Newaygo County Sheriff's Office.
A 911 caller had told police that he and another man had gone to the residence to visit the homeowner. Upon their arrival, he said, they found the homeowner lying face-down in the hallway with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the back. A woman in the house was still in possession of a gun.
When police arrived on the scene, they found that no one was dead. Instead, the man and woman had simply played a prank.
