Carlee Russell is facing criminal charges of false reporting to law enforcement authorities and falsely reporting an incident—both class A misdemeanors—the Hoover, Alabama, Police Department announced Friday, just days after Russell admitted to faking her own abduction.

The two charges she is facing are punishable by up to one year in prison each.

Hoover Police announced Friday afternoon that Russell turned herself in, posted bail and had been released.

Russell, an Alabama woman who disappeared for two days earlier this month, admitted earlier this week to making up a shocking story that she was kidnapped by a trucker while attempting to help a toddler on the interstate, local police said.

Russell’s attorney said in a statement that she had no help in the incident and that she was apologetic to the police, search volunteers and other agencies that were looking for her, including the U.S. Secret Service.
