A Houston man is in serious trouble after faking a kidnapping story about his 6-month-old son to bring attention to his lil stolen Jeep.
According to ABC 13, Anthony Gray, 38, called 911, saying his Jeep Cherokee had been stolen from a gas station with his son inside the vehicle.
Surveillance footage shows Anthony pulling into the local gas station Thursday.
He went inside and a red Kia pulled up right next to his car. Two men quickly jumped out and into Anthony’s vehicle, and drove off. Anthony called 911 and told them his baby was inside the car.
A relative ended up seeing the news and called the police to let them know the baby was actually at their home.
Police ended up confirming that the baby, who authorities have identified as Noah Gray, was with his grandmother, who lives about a half mile from the gas station, the entire time.
Anthony came clean, but it was a lil too late.
He is currently in custody and will likely be hit with a charge for the false report.
Police did end up finding his car, but the men who stole it are still on the run.
Lied and behind bars while the thieves still out free chi.
