by Matt Wilstein | 7:42 pm, April 1st, 2014
April Fools Day brings with it plenty of fun and clever pranks that anyone can enjoy. But what about those jokes that just go way too far? For instance, take 54-year-old Virginia College employee Angela Timmons, who began her day today by texting her daughter that she heard shots fired at work.

The Spartanburg County Sheriffs Office arrived at the school shortly after to find nothing amiss. The daughter ultimately called the department back once she received the second text message.
Timmons was reportedly charged with one count of disturbing schools, one count of aggravated in nature breach of peace, and two counts of unlawful use of a telephone. Heres her mugshot:
