Police in Florida say that a teenager thought to have been abducted by four Hispanic men actually staged his disappearance in an elaborate hoax.
The ruse began on September 25, around 4 p.m., when police say they received information that Caden Speight, 17, had been abducted and that a gun had been fired during the abduction. According to police, Speight actually shot himself in the leg as part of the hoax.
