Frisco police have arrested a juvenile male from Frisco High School in connection to a picture of a bogus news article that mentions Ebola cases in Frisco.
The bogus article, which was made to appear to be from myFOXdfw.com, was being passed around on social media, but was not published by FOX 4.
It said it was written by an "AP Medical Scriber," claims "there could be as much as 6 new victims" and mentions several schools in Frisco.

Dallas County Health and Human Services Director Zach Thompson said there is only one confirmed case of Ebola in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and no one else is showing symptoms of the deadly disease.
