So this is how false rumors spread. According to the article someone mentioned below, it is true that something like this happens in one small town in Missouri. In fact it's so ridiculous that the New York Times wrote an article on it. But it's not right to say this happens "in Missouri", that's as false as saying "In America you get fined for having mismatched blinds"
