OCTOBER 21--In a move straight out of the Pranknet  playbook, an ESPN reporter early this morning was convinced by an unknown caller to her hotel to break out her room's windows because the building was purportedly on fire.

According to a Gainesville Police Department report, ESPNU reporter Elizabeth Moreau was in her room at a Hilton Garden Inn when a male caller advised "that the hotel was on fire." The man first directed Moreau, 27, to "lay towels down at the bottom of her front door to prevent smoke from entering her room." The caller then directed Moreau to use the toilet lid cover to break out the window.

"She then went to the window and used it to break out the window. The window was broken and the toilet lid broke upon falling to the ground outside," police reported. It is unknown who was responsible for today's hoax, which cops have classified a "suspicious incident."

Moreau, in Gainesville to cover a women's volleyball match between the University of Florida and the University of Tennessee, told cops that the caller then advised "that's what she gets for being a bad ex-wife and further explained she was bad at 'sucking dick.'" At this point, Moreau, pictured at right, realized she had been pranked.
