A 20-year-old Lower Paxton Township man is accused in a prank where he allegedly sent text messages to a woman giving her details of a "hoax homicide," state police said.

Brandon True was charged with disorderly conduct. Police said investigation revealed the messages came from True's cell phone about 2:50 p.m. Monday.
