*Not so far, but then, yesterday’s announcement came in the afternoon without any warning.Any updates on charges and/or press conference.
*Something was definitely going on yesterday: Hoover police were set to do a presser and AlabamaDOTCom had a live stream set up, counting down the minutes— and then it was all taken down with no explanation.
*Media packed up their cameras and all left the Jefferson county jail @ Bessemer at the same time yesterday, from a post by Birmingham Crime Stoppers.
*It’s apparent that the defense attorney brought Carlee in there, so we are still waiting for the DA to announce the charges.
From 11 minutes ago:
The Jefferson County District Attorney's Bessemer Division office has talked with police about potentially pressing charges against Carlee Russell, the Alabama woman who told police she was kidnapped after she went missing for two days, prosecutors confirmed to ABC News.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Lane Tolbert told ABC News on Thursday that police are seeking two charges against Russell -- falsely reporting an incident and false reporting to law enforcement authorities -- which are each class A misdemeanors in Alabama and punishable by up to one year in prison, he said.
"We advise what we think the charges should be," Tolbert said, adding that if charges are filed they would be filed by the Circuit Clerk of Jefferson County, Bessemer Division's office.
Asked by ABC News on Thursday morning when and if charges could be filed, a spokesperson for the circuit clerk's office declined to comment.
