Franklin Police Arrest 37-Year-Old Woman for Faking Her Own Murder

Margaret Sweeney, 37, of North Carolina was arrested on Monday for allegedly faking her own murder. She had made false reports to a friend and the Department of Social Services, prompting the Franklin Police Department to issue an alert for her. Officers found her on Saturday and arrested her two days later for false report to a police station, false report of death or serious injury by telephonic communication and obstructing law enforcement officers. Her alleged actions caused the police to spend many hours on her case instead of other matters.
