Horry County Police spent several hours looking for a kidnapping suspect, before they say they found out the woman falsely reported the crime.

A 9-1-1 call was made the woman, now identified by police as Kimberly Ann Todd, 24,

She told police she was calling from inside the trunk of her vehicle on Mt. Pisgah Cemetary Road in Conway.

Officers responded to that area based on latitude and longitude from a cell phone signal. Officers searched the area for approximately 30 minutes before locating Todd on Hardwick Rd.

According to police, she said a man pulled her out of her vehicle while she was sitting at a traffic light on Oak Street and Cultra Road. She told police he held a knife to her throat before putting her into the trunk of the vehicle and driving away.

Horry County police say detectives processed the scene and conducted interviews, before determining the incident did not occur and was falsely reported.

Todd is charged with one count of filing a false police report.
