Late Woman Makes Up Hit-And-Run Excuse

Police in Pennsylvania arrested a woman who invented a story about being struck by a car to avoid losing her job due to tardiness. State Police said Courtni Jennyne Roberts, 20, arrived at Uniontown Hospital February 5th and claimed to have been struck by a black car on her way to work. However, a trooper dispatched to the hospital at about 4:50 p.m. was told that the injury on Roberts’ left leg was inconsistent with the type of collision she was describing. Roberts finally confessed that she was late for work and made up the story so she wouldn’t lose her job. She was arrested and charged with making a false police report. No word on whether she was fired.
