A man’s story that he was robbed at gunpoint on The Fly at Audubon Park last week has now been deemed false by investigators who believe he was actually involved in a dispute over drug deal with his alleged attacker, authorities said.

Initially, the victim told police he was robbed at gunpoint around in the afternoon of May 28, according to police reports at the time. When investigators located the alleged gunman, however, he told police that the two were simply arguing over a drug deal and that no gun was involved, and when police confirmed that the two knew each other prior to the alleged incident, they charged the supposed robbery victim with falsifying a police report.
