A reported stabbing at Splendora High School in Montgomery County, Texas, triggered a massive law enforcement response and campus lockdown this week. But investigators now say the incident was a hoax, and the woman at the center of it is facing criminal charges.
Nicole Truelove, a 53-year-old teacher at the school, is accused of staging the incident on Thursday morning by inflicting injuries on herself and falsely claiming she had been attacked by a student, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.
