Officials at the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) have apologized after an Amber Alert was issued last week with the famous killer doll, Chucky, according to reports.
“Thank you for contacting us. It was actually a test we did on a dev server, and it went out by accident,” Ruben Medina of DPS told Houston’s KPRC-TV. “We appreciate you sending it out to us to verify this. We apologize for your inconvenience.”
The emergency message was sent out Friday and included the ‘Child’s Play’ horror series villain with his fictional child, Glen.

The station received a screenshot of one of the three messages sent to the public. It describes the suspect, Chucky, as a ‘blue denim overall with multicolored striped long-sleeved shirt with a large kitchen knife.’
His race is listed as ‘Other: Doll’.
Glen Ray, the lead actor in ‘Seed of Chucky’ in 2004, was listed as the kidnapper and wearing a ‘blue shirt and black collar’. Both’s heights reflect their fictitious size in the ‘Child’s Play’ horror franchise.

Don Mancini, the director and writer who created the Chucky character responded to the accident, tweet: “PLEASE FIND THEM.”
The nationwide Amber Alert system is named after Amber Hagerman, a young girl from Texas who was abducted and murdered about 25 years ago.
