People try to come up with different April fools’ day pranks, but for one woman, her prank landed her in jail.

Susan Alexandria Tinker, 21, who works at the Waffle house was jailed after she allegedly called police to report a burglary, but police later determined that it was nothing more than an April fools’ day prank.

According to Hampton police, officers were dispatched to the Hampton Inn, Waffle House, in Hampton, Virginia around 6:00 am after police operators received a report that the restaurant had just been robbed.

When officers arrived at the scene, they used a K9 unit to search for the alleged thief. After reviewing surveillance camera footage, investigators determined that there had not been a robbery.

During an interview with police on the scene, Tinker admitted that there had not been a robbery and that she called 911 as a joke for April fools’ day. Apparently, police officers did not find it funny at all. She was taken into custody.

“Some April fools’ day pranks are cool. However, some people make pranks that are way over the line such as involving law enforcement,” Guy Weberman, 31, of Atlantic City, New Jersey told YourJewishNews.com.

Tinker was booked into jail and charged with falsely summoning police. If convicted, she could face up to 12 months in jail and/or a fine up to $2,500.
