Branson Police: No girl was found on side of the road in a coma

(From the Branson Police Department)

Branson Police Department is aware of a photo circulating on social media with a fake post about a girl that was found on the side of the road in a coma that we are trying to identify. 

This is another example of one of the fake posts that circulate trying to cause hysteria and panic, and could lead to further spam issues. BPD has no current cases or reports matching this incident.

As a reminder, our official channels DO post crime and safety updates, so we always recommend checking our page to see if a post you have seen has been reported on our page. If not, it could be a fake post.
