Court dismisses appeal against conviction for misleading police to cause unnecessary search actions under Art. 66 k.w.

The appellate court dismissed the defendant's appeal regarding the factual basis of the conviction but allowed a change in the legal qualification of the offense. The defendant argued she did not know her mother's location and that the police should have been notified by her grandmother instead. The court found the defendant intentionally misled the officer to trigger a widespread search for an elderly, vulnerable woman, which would not have occurred otherwise. Consequently, the conviction for causing unnecessary actions was upheld, but the specific legal provision cited was corrected to the current paragraph of Article 66 of the Penal Code.
