What is the law regarding filing a false police report? Recently, my son and I have found out that his wife out of anger over their pending divorce have filed several police reports against my son and I. She filed a report against my son for Criminal domestice violence alledging that they got into and argument and he burned her with an iron on the 1/1/05-report filed 3/28/05.
As for me, she filed a forgery/counterfeit charge against me alledging that I cash over 21 checks all over town totaling over $900 from 10/2/04 to 2/18/05, while she was away in boot camp. Of course she states that I had her checks but not her permission to use them. (Huge lie--since she wrote me from boot camp requesting that I retrieve her checkbook from male friend and keep up payments on her bills..especially cell and credit card) And yes, I still have the letter. I admit, I wrote 5 checks total paying her bills, ie cell, phone, light bill, home phone..etc. The checks I wrote were from 10/04 and 11/04..with her permission. She filed this report on 2/18/05. I spoke to the office handling the case today, and she is aware that this whole report appears to be fradulent once she realized after investigating some of the checks, she found the one that I used to pay my daught-in-laws credit card. So, I have a meeting with the officer on money to give her copies of other supporting edivence to prove that my daughter-in-law lied on this report.
What will happen to her if she is found guilty of filing a false report?
