MAGA hat-wearing Florida teen accused of faking an abduction by ‘four Hispanic men’ and shooting himself in the leg to cover it up
Police launched an urgent search for Caden Speight, 17, believing him to be the victim of a shooting on September 25 before he was found
A Florida teen has been accused of faking his own kidnapping and shooting himself in the leg to cover his tracks.
Police launched an urgent search, involving helicopters, for 17-year-old Caden Speight on September 25, believing him to be the victim of a shooting.
When the teen apparently vanished, his mother told police that she received a text from him which alleged that four Hispanic men had shot him before bundling him into a white van and driving away.
Before he vanished, local reports indicate that he was seen wearing a red "MAGA" hat.
Cops located his car near Marion County Airport, 80 miles from Orlando, and issued an Amber Alert to find the teen.
The teenager was later found “alive and well” on September 26.
However, Billy Woods, the Marion County Sheriff, now claims that the crime was an elaborate “hoax” devised by Speight.
In a social media video, Woods conceded that there were “red flags” early on in the case.
According to him, Speight "simply rode away towards Williston while the rest of us were left to think the worst, and my team was working in overdrive to solve this case."
“To continue the ruse, Caden, who had a handgun with him since the beginning of all of this, chose to shoot himself in the leg.
“There is zero chance that Caden’s gunshot wound came from any type of assailant,” he added.
An investigation involving local, state, and federal agencies found that Speight purchased a bicycle, a tent, and camping supplies before disappearing.

This dumbass Cheddar Bobbed himself then got white folks going on witch hunts for random hispanics in white vans. I hope those hispanics realized that they are next on the list to get the Black treatment. They didn't think that White people wouldn't do an Emmitt Till on them based on false accusations.
But is he suicidal? Is he the white Tupac?
