Pranksters Arrested After Staging Fake Murder To Scare Friend

Quote:
CENTRAL POINT, Ore. -- A couple of guys in Oregon who started drinking early in the morning thought it would be funny to stage a murder scene.

But by the end of the day, they weren't laughing. They were jailed and so was their friend, the subject of the prank.

An alarmed Daniel Maerz told police he walked into the house and found 31-year-old Adam Vickers dead from a gunshot wound. He believed his friend had been killed by his roommate, Kyle Wisdom. After his emergency call, police rushed to the scene, ordering a lockdown of a nearby elementary school on their way.

But after realizing their house was surrounded by police, Vickers and the roommate decided they'd better go outside and explain it was all a joke intended to scare Maerz.

Vickers and Wisdom were jailed on charges including initiating a false report.

Maerz was also arrested, on a charge of methamphetamine possession. But police said he was happy to learn his friend wasn't dead, even though he was upset with his friends for pulling the prank.

It would have been funnier if they had stopped the joke before phoning the police

I'm laughing over the fact that one of the guys ended up on methamphetamine charge.

It was like the guy over here in Australia whose child was kidnapped and it turned out that he had another family hiding out in another state and it was only found out because the kidnapping made national news

Talk about consequences of actions!

Wow...I used to live down there and I didn't hear anything about it on the news, but still...

That actually doesn't suprise me that the one of them ended up getting charged for meth possession. Meth is a really, really big problem in Oregon, but it's really bad in Central Point.
