Woman arrested on charge of giving false information
The 22-year-old former GCSU student, reported being assaulted by a phony police officer driving an unmarked, silver Crown Victoria, about 10 p.m. Friday, March 13 on Pea Ridge Road, about one-fourth of a mile off Highway 441 in Putnam County, according to Butler.
The woman said no cars passed during the span of time she claimed to have been pulled over – a busy time for that road, according to Putman County Sheriff Howard Sills.
In her description of the incident to police, the woman described details of the imposter policeman sexually assaulting her in ways that were “physically impossible,” according to Sills.
Following the incident, the woman had a rape exam performed. The results of the exam will be submitted to the crime lab, Sills said.
All six charges of providing law enforcement with false information are in refernce to the one report of the imposter police officer.
Detective Robert Butler at GCSU Public Safety advises students to be wary when they are pulled over and feel something is suspicious.
“Anytime a female is pulled over late at night they have several options. They can let the window down, motion to the person who is stopping them that you are going to pull down to a lighted area – convenience store, parking lot or wherever – or they can get on the phone and dial 911 to verify the person stopping them is a legitimate law enforcement officer,” Butler said.
