April Fool’s has been a been a big hit online, but one must be careful not to take the jokes too far, especially in real life.
Cody Weddl of WKPT19 reports one Kingsport woman pranked her sister by telling her she shot her husband, and needed help burying the body.
Her sister Helen quickly told the rest of her family, and before the prank holiday ended, the police had surrounded the home, guns drawn.
“Next thing I knew. There was law everywhere. Their response was excellent.”
“The fool was her,” said one neighbor after seeing her put into a police cruiser with cuffs on.
Now, the viral video stands with over 75,000 views since April sprouted.
