Social media was abuzz Sunday after rumors circulated that Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman broke free of jail for the third time.
The source of the rumors was a hoax ABC News site that posted a story that claimed Guzman escaped a Mexican prison once again.
Mexican and U.S. officials confirmed that Guzman did not escape and was still in custody.
The hoax site has been the source of plenty of fake stories that tricked readers.
