CINCINNATI<\/a> — A plea for help on social media spurred an overnight search effort in the Tri-State — but police say the whole thing was a hoax.<\/p>\n

At about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, local gay rights activist Adam Hoover, 20, started sending out messages on Facebook and Twitter pleading for help.<\/p>\n

Hoover claimed he was stuffed in the trunk of his vehicle and a group was claiming they would kill him and his family.<\/p>\n

Hoover told his followers, “They said they are going to kill my family. … I don’t want to die.”<\/p>\n

An emotional sounding Hoover told a dispatcher what he said happened to him after he arrived at a Miami View Road home.<\/p>\n

Police later said that Hoover\u2019s claims were made up and the incident did not actually happen. He was charged with making false claims — a first-degree misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Investigators said Hoover\u2019s vehicle was found abandoned in Miami Township on US 50. He was found unharmed nearby.<\/p>\n

Deputies said Green Township police and Hamilton County sheriff\u2019s investigators interviewed Hoover before determining his story was not true.<\/p>\n

Hoover\u2019s mother told WCPO that she was able to see her son after he was found. She said she was able to give him a hug and that he said he loves her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
