Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) officials apologized after an Amber Alert was issued last week featuring the famous killer doll, Chucky, according to reports.
“Thanks for contacting us. In fact, this was a test that we were running on a development server and it came out accidentally,” Ruben Medina of DPS told KPRC-TV Houston. “Thanks for contacting us to verify this. We apologize for this inconvenience (for) you.”
The emergency message was sent on Friday and included the villain from the horror series “Child’s Play” along with his fictional son, Glen, according to reports.

The station took a screenshot of one of the three reported messages sent to the public. He described the suspect, Chucky, as having “blue denim overalls with a multicolored striped long-sleeved shirt and wielding a huge kitchen knife”.
Her race was listed as “Other: Doll”.
Glen Ray, the main protagonist of 2004’s “Seed of Chucky”, was listed as the abductee and was described as having a “blue shirt and black collar”. Both times seemed to reflect its fictional size in the “Child’s Play” horror franchise.
