CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. -

A Clarksville woman was arrested after recently leading police on a city-wide search, claiming she had been abducted.

Police said it was all a hoax.

Around 10:30 p.m. Friday, the Clarksville-Montgomery County 911 received information that 24 year-old Sheila Sied was being held hostage in Lincoln Homes. 

She reportedly told authorities she had been tied up for two weeks.

Multiple officers were dispatched to Lincoln Homes to an address where they thought they would find Sied.

Emergency responders were also on standby in case she was injured. 

Police located Sied unharmed inside of a mobile home on Power Street. 

"[Officers] needed a calculator to keep track of the amount of times the story changed," said Jim Knoll, public information officer for Clarksville police.

Knoll added, "Officers sorted through the stories and were able to determine that she had went to Lincoln Homes to purchase cocaine and had not been held hostage."

Police said she had been staying at the mobile home park since last Sunday.   

Sied was booked into the Montgomery County Jail on a $10,000 bond and charged with making a false report.
