An anonymous caller said she saw a vehicle on Rossville Boulevard with signs in the window indicating that the person had been kidnapped. Upon arrival, police located the vehicle and saw the signs on the side that said they had been kidnapped by "reptilian aliens," and they were "being held for ransom for $750,000." Police spoke with the individual inside of the vehicle, who was identified to be Sommer Wilson. She said she lives out of her vehicle, and she puts those signs up to spread awareness of extra-terrestrial abductions. Ms. Wilson said she was fine and did not need police or medical attention. Police spoke with her for several minutes and found her to be "lucid and coherent." An officer concluded that she did not appear to be a threat to herself or others. Ms. Wilson said that she would leave the gas station and go somewhere else.
