Daniel Reyes, a 34-year-old man, was arrested by Pueblo police for filing a false kidnapping report that led to an Amber Alert being issued. Reyes claimed that his 13-year-old cousin, Sandra Mendoza, was in his truck when it was stolen from a bowling alley, prompting a widespread search across Colorado. However, it was later discovered that the girl was safe at home and had no connection to Reyes. The false report wasted significant law enforcement resources and diverted attention from other critical incidents. Reyes has been charged with attempting to influence a public servant, a class 4 felony. The case highlights the serious consequences of false reporting, which can compromise emergency response efforts.
