The ordeal unfolded after a pair of masked men burst into a Monte Alto home and snatched Rogelio Andaverde, 34, at gunpoint at about 10:30pm on Tuesday.
Andaverde's panicked wife called police, who launched a manhunt that lasted several hours until they became curious when they developed no leads. About a dozen deputies and a DPS helicopter were sent to search for him. They gave up after several hours.
Andaverde arrived back at his house on Thursday morning. He told his wife the kidnappers had released him. Investigators now say he made up the story so his wife would not be upset. He was charged with a misdemeanor for filing a false report. His bond was set at $5,000. Investigators are searching for the fake kidnappers who also could face charges.

I don't think he really thought this through. Now he is in jail and he will probably want to stay there because I'm sure he has one royally pissed off wife.
