Alabama students intentionally getting Covid-19, to win money.
Chief Smith said it was a rumor at first but they investigated the unnamed students and confirmed it through local doctors offices and the state health department.
"We had seen over the last few weeks parties going on in the county, or throughout the city and county in several locations where students or kids would come in with known positives. We thought that was kind of a rumor at first....we did some additional research....not only did the doctor's offices help confirm it but the state confirmed they also had the same information," Smith said.
