A municipal judge on Wednesday found Carlee Russell, 26, guilty of misdemeanor charges of false reporting to law enforcement and falsely reporting an incident. Flanked by her family and attorneys, Russell made her first court appearance Wednesday amid a heavy media presence, news outlets reported. Defense attorney Richard Jaffe said in a telephone interview they do not think jail time is appropriate. Russell’s attorneys said they don't think she should serve jail time for a misdemeanor offense. "We don’t think jail time for a first-offender with a class A misdemeanor is reasonable because that just doesn’t happen,” Jaffe said.

The statement from attorney Emory Anthony – read by Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis during a news conference Monday afternoon – said the 26-year-old woman never left the Hoover area and acted alone. The statement didn’t indicate where Russell was while a large search for her took place. She returned home on foot about 49 hours later, at around 10:45 p.m., according to Hoover police. Derzis said charges against Russell are possible and his office is discussing the case with the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office. Investigators were supposed to meet with both Russell and Anthony on Monday, but the attorney emailed the statement and asked the chief to read it to the media.
