Previous Story about the staged invasion
Five police organizations rushed to the scene of a reported home invasion at 2 a.m. Friday in the 1100 block of Hampstead Court, in Collinsville.
Someone called 911 and reported that a woman was being dragged from her house by men dressed in black, wearing masks. When officers from Collinsville, Maryville, Caseyville, the Madison County Sheriff’s Department and the Illinois State Police arrived at the townhome, three adults were arrested at gunpoint.
However, soon after arriving, police determined the incident was a hoax, Collinsville Police said. Three adults were taken into custody and remain at the Collinsville Police Department. They face felony disorderly conduct charges, police said.
Two minor children and another adult were at the home at the time of the incident. Police said the children were not harmed, but a Madison County Sheriff’s Deputy suffered a slight injury while responding to the call.
Even B. Wallace, 25, of the 5500 block of Sugarloaf Road led seven police agencies on a wild-good chase on March 22 when he claimed someone broke into his home and stabbed him, before fleeing into the woods, police said. Wallace was later charged with felony disorderly conduct for what was later determined to be a false report (see related story). The next court date in the Wallace case is Aug. 18.
