MARPLE TWP., Pa. - November 13, 2013

Police charged 22-year-old Michael Adams Jr. with faking an emergency call, claiming someone was being held hostage by someone with a bomb.

That led to the scene on September 16th along the 200 block of Carlton Drive.

It turns out no one was even inside the home.

Detectives say Adams was a neighbor.
