Teen Charged For Hoax Report
(Bern Township, PA) -- The suspect in a hoax report that led to a large police response in Berks County last week is identified as a teenager. Eighteen-year-old Brycen Scheffler is accused of calling 911 on Thursday and falsely claiming that he saw two men with guns on his property. Berks County District Attorney John Adams said the incident forced the Schuylkill Valley School District to make immediate emergency plans at campuses. Scheffler faces multiple charges.
