ROGERS, Ark. — A northwest Arkansas teenager thought it would be funny to text a random phone number saying she hid a body, but the joke backfired.

Of all the local phone numbers she could have chosen, the 15-year-old Rogers girl picked one that belonged to a police detective. Police found the girl's address by tracing her cellphone number.

The prank? To text: "I hid the body ... Now what?" to a random phone number. The teen said she got the idea for the prank from a posting on the website Pinterest.

Police didn't find the prank funny and say it tied up some of the department's resources.

The girl was released with a warning.

At least they released her with a warning. Given recent incidents, she's lucky she's not in a maximum security prison with a life sentence.

Never heard of a harmless "prank" (where there was no victim/body) that lead to a life sentence. Please enlighten us of such a case or incident that warranted that. :hmm:

Lucky she didn't text DHS.

Otherwise she might have spent hard time with this man:
