Hutcherson was taken in by some fake undercover cops who let it drop that they were tailing him after he took a "bugged" cup of coffee from a Starbucks.
When he called 911 the call was intercepted by "Pretty Little Liars" star Lucy Hale who asked Hutcherson if he was hallucinating.
Although it was a really elaborate set-up for the show, Hutcherson seemed a little underwhelmed by getting "Punk'd."
"Punk'd" continues Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.

Get your eye guards ready! This weekend, the Farrelly brothers' "The Three Stooges" hits theaters, along with the genre-bending horror flick, "The Cabin in the...
I can't help but wonder if they actually think Lawrence doesn't portray Katniss correctly or if they're upset she doesn't portray the ideal we are all so used to seeing when young women star in blockbuster action films -- that of the quite literally starving actress.
The filmmakers chose to shoot the Games in a natural environment. Surprisingly, this only increases the horror of the televised bloodbath. There's something about the forest that's just creepier than anything we can make with our hands.
With the Harry Potter franchise sadly at a close and the disappointing Twilight franchise ending soon, The Hunger Games becomes a beacon of light to this enthused group of kids.
I wanted to love it, but after being in the world of Suzanne Collins's trilogy, it was just wasn't the same. In fact, I constantly line up and buy my tickets for movies based on books I loved and feel this way. Maybe it's just me -- maybe I'm expecting see on the screen what cannot be translated from the source material.
In a world that is swamped with book-to-movie adaptations, one must wonder if the latest one will be as good as the book. When it comes to The Hunger Games, simply put, it is the most faithful adaptation one has ever seen.
Perhaps what's most mysterious about the Mysterious Island is that it takes place in a world where well-paid actors are unable to mimic authentic human emotions, and a script's action scenes appear to have been written before the story.
Talk about mysterious islands -- the one in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island features an ensemble that includes Michael Caine, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson -- and Luis Guzman. That's some bizarre casting.
Though the 43-year-old vet can play the nastiest of characters, he does best with the guys who care -- like his portrayal of Paul in The Kids Are All Right.
