UTPD: Teen Facing Felony Charge after Triggering UT Alert Overnight

Knoxville, TN (WOKI) A 19-year-old is facing multiple charges after filing a false police report that triggered a UT Alert overnight Tuesday.

University of Tennessee Police Department officials say Peyton Hubbs was arrested on a felony charge of filing a false report and two misdemeanor charges of simple possession and illegal gambling around 11:15 Tuesday night following his report of a robbery in the UT parking lot at 1720 Lake Avenue.

Officials say an investigation, to include reviewing area surveillance video at the time of the alleged incident, found that the robbery did not happen.

Hubbs later admitted that he lied and was charged in the investigation.

He has been booked into the Knox County Detention Center.
