An Alabama judge found Carlee Russell guilty of two misdemeanor charges
after she faked her own abduction in July.

Hoover Municipal Court Judge Thomas Brad Bishop on Wednesday found Russell
guilty on charges of false reporting of an incident and false reporting to
law enforcement, both misdemeanors, according to FOX affiliate WBRC.

The state recommended one year in jail, the maximum, which is six months
for each charge. They also recommended a fine of $831 and restitution of
$17,974.88.

According to the report, the case will be appealed to circuit court.

Russell, 24, dialed 911 on July 13 at around 9:34 p.m. to report a toddler
walking along the southbound side of Interstate 459 near Birmingham,
according to the Hoover Police Department.

She returned home on July 15 at around 10:45 p.m. near where police say
she was seen walking along the sidewalk beforehand.

In a statement Russell made through her attorney, Emery Anthony, to the
Hoover Police Department, she admitted to never seeing a baby on
Interstate 459.

"My client did not have any help in this incident. This was a single act
done by herself," the statement said. "My client was not with anyone or
any hotel with anyone from the time she was missing. My client apologizes
for her actions to this community, the volunteers who were searching for
her, to the Hoover Police Department and other agencies as well and to her
friends and family."

During a press conference when charges were filed, Derzis said that
officials still don't know Russell's whereabouts during the 49 hours she
was missing.

"We still don't know what happened in those 49 hours, where she was. Did
she have any help? We have no idea," Derzis said. "We wanted the focus to
be, ‘bring her home.’ She got home. We're very excited about that."

"That facts that I (spoke about) last Wednesday pretty much showed that we
knew it was a hoax," Derzis said.

Police earlier said that Russell took toilet paper and a bathrobe from the
Woodhouse Spa Birmingham, her employer. She later picked up food for
takeout and was later seen getting snacks at Target.
