Bloomington police say the girl texted her friend and cousin Friday morning and said she’d been robbed and shot in the foot.

The pair called police, who rushed to a home where they found the 16-year-old safe. She hadn’t been robbed or shot.

The (Bloomington) Pantagraph reports the girl received a $100 ticket for disorderly conduct and a $50 ticket for truancy because she wasn’t in school Friday.

Police say she could have been criminally charged with filing a false police report.

Bloomington police spokesman Dave White says the friend and cousin did the right thing by calling police. They haven’t been cited or charged.
