labama woman Carlee Russell will not face jail time after she pleaded guilty Thursday to falsely reporting her kidnapping last summer, multiple outlets reported.

Russell initially vanished on July 13 after calling police about a toddler on the side of the highway but returned home two days later. Later that month, she admitted through her attorney that she had fabricated the story.

Russell was charged with two misdemeanors: falsely reporting to law enforcement and falsely reporting an incident. She was trying to appeal a conviction in a state trial but instead headed to a plea trial Thursday.

Appearing before the judge Thursday, she blindly plead guilty with no deal in place, AL.com reported.

“I made a grave mistake while trying to fight through various emotional issues and stress,” Russell told the judge, as AL.com reported. "I absolutely regret my decision and in hindsight wish I had cried for help in a totally different manner. My prayer is that I will be extended grace and be given the opportunity to redeem who I truly am and restore the positively esteemed character that I have worked so hard to obtain for the 25 years of my life prior to this incident."

She must pay nearly $18,000 in restitution and receive mental health counseling, but her six-month jail time sentence was suspended, according to AL.com.

The judge presiding over the case or Russell's attorney Emory Anthony did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for information. 

Carlee Russell timeline: Everything that happened from her disappearance to admitting it was hoax

Carlee Russell kidnapping hoax

Russell initially went "missing" on July 13 after calling police from a Birmingham suburb to report “a male toddler in a diaper” on the side of Interstate 459 South, as previously reported by USA TODAY. She told the operator she was "stopping to check on him,” and then called a family friend to inform them of the situation.

The family friend heard her scream during the call and then lost contact with Russell. The Hoover Police Department arrived on the scene roughly five minutes later to find Russell's wig, cellphone and purse with an Apple Watch inside on the roadway near her empty vehicle. There was no sign of Russell or a child.

Police quickly launched a search for the woman, with local, state and federal authorities getting involved. The case drew national attention as people across the country kept up with news of the search.

Carlee Russell returns home, admits she wasn't kidnapped

Russell returned home on July 15 and allegedly "gave detectives her statement so that they can continue to pursue her abductor," Talitha Russell, Carlee's mother, told TODAY on July 18. Carlee's mother and father told reporters that their daughter had indeed been abducted and that the perpetrator was still at large.

Police continued to investigate until July 24, when police read a statement from Russell's lawyer at a news conference, confirming that Russell had never actually been missing. The statement said she acted alone in pulling off the deceit. She apologized to the community, searchers, police and her family for her "mistake."

"The sad thing is ... there were so many people that were involved ... took this thing very seriously," the statement read. "It is what it is."

Neither Russell nor her attorney have provided a public explanation for why she faked the abduction.

#girl help I am not doing well #basically. so the bedroom does not have the measurements that were on the plan #it is in fact significantly smaller and we're going to have to see if we can return stuff #which is fine and all. it's just tedious. it's fine. #but a switch has flipped in my brain from happy to oh no. #I'm just. dreading. everything. #dreading being there and not feeling at home #dreading being out of place #dreading going out of my room and my parents are Not there #I like the apartment. I know I do. I know. #but I can't feel it right now and that's. very scary #after having spent money I feel I just. want to be home #and I know that's not the solution because I've been feeling I need a change so bad #and I do. I need to learn it. I need to try. I need to grow #for at least a year #but god I do not feel up to the task at all #I want to curl up and hide #but my days here are so numbered that it doesn't feel safe. it feels like a timer ticking #and I don't want to do it there. I don't want to be alone I don't want it #aghhhh #at least I'm finally crying. it's been weeks overdue #r is comforting me the best they can which isn't a lot but I do appreciate it and acknowledge what they say is correct #bien rambles

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intend to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

#this is about tenko bnha #but it is also about dahlia ace attorney #watch the nezumiVA videos on ace attorney trilogy they're great #anyway dahlia saying she (at like. 6 years old) apparently convinced her father to abandon her sister. hmmm #also everyone including herself thinking of her as the manipulator in control with terry when she was 14 dating a 20 y/o #anyway these characters both did do terrible things but feel the need to pile on more and remove nuance from where it exists #to convince themselves that this is what they really want. that they chose this. #it's about the loss of control it's about being a victim feeling worse than being a villain #at least if you were the bad guy you had autonomy #shimura tenko #shigaraki tomura #dahlia hawthorne

I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.

It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.

#she cornered me in the car and asked what shipping was and i almost had a fucking heart attack #imagine being like 16 years old and habing to explain knotting to your mother #random emo music girl I'm glad you had fun talking about your Band Guys to my mother #bc i also attended take your kid to work day at that office and i know how boring it was #but christ alive why did you have to fuck me like that? #anyways i hope this post reaches you so at the very least you know i think about you at least once a week #this has been weighing on me for ten years #im almost tempted to blaze this post

and this is why when i told some teenagers they could have as much as they want and they took half the bowl i didn't get mad. teens are still kids too and some of them are more childish than others, some of them want to go have fun and get free candy too. i was a trick or treating teen! i was a poor teen that wanted free candy! i really looked forward to trick or treating every year! thankfully i had a young brother to help but my point still stands. if you're giving fucking candy away for free why does it matter if it goes to a 9 year old or a 16 year old?

#halloween #having to ask permission to wear a mask any other day of the year is um. controlling. to say the least
