ST. ALBANS — A Willis­ton woman is accused of creating a false public alarm in Franklin County.

The St. Albans Police Department was alerted at about 9:17 a.m. Monday with a report that XXXX XXXXXX, 27, of Williston, was being held against her will by an ex-boyfriend, possibly in the St. Albans area.

The ex-boyfriend’s Fairfax home was unoccu­pied, police said. Police tried to call XXXXXX's cell phone throughout the day and created a four-mile search radius in St. Albans based on location informa­tion obtained from those calls. Later, at about 2:45 p.m., police learned that XXXXXX was hiding in a bathroom in the town’s Wal­mart store. Officers then responded to Walmart to speak with XXXXXX, who police said was emotional and who did not want help. Her ex-boyfriend was also at the store and coop­erated with police; he said XXXXXX had fabri­cated the story. She is expected to ap­pear at Franklin County District Court Feb. 24.
