BAY CITY, MI -- Police are alleging that a 53-year-old woman called them to falsely report her money was stolen when she actually gave the cash to someone to buy drugs for her.

Now, she's facing a four-year felony.

About 6:45 p.m. on Dec. 6, police responded to the East Side house of Cheryl L. Reimer after she called 911 to report a larceny. Reimer told police she had given cash to her boyfriend to go to the store and that while he was gone, 31-year-old Tyler J. Bergstrom stopped by. After Bergstrom left, Reimer noticed her wallet containing $185 in cash was missing and she told police she believed he stole it, court records show.

A short time later, Bergstrom called Reimer from the Bay County Jail, saying he had been pulled over and would get her money back to her the next day, she told police.

Police listened to a recording of the call, which featured Reimer and her boyfriend talking to Bergstrom, making references to drugs, court records show.

Police interviewed Bergstrom in jail. He told them Reimer's boyfriend had contacted him looking to buy Adderall, a prescription medication. He said he went to Reimer's house and she gave him $185 plus $5 in quarters for gas to buy 40 Adderall pills, court records show.

Bergstrom went on to say he drove to Saginaw to buy the pills, but his connection told him to instead meet with him on Westside Saginaw Road in Frankenlust Township. Bergstrom said he was stopped by a Michigan State Police trooper before he bought the Adderall, court records show.

Authorities on Jan. 24 issued a warrant for Reimer. She appeared in Bay County District Court on Feb. 14 for arraignment on one count of false report of a felony, punishable by up to four years' incarceration and a $2,000 fine.

Reimer is to appear for a preliminary examination at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, March 7.

Bergstrom was on probation at the time for a 2011 home invasion. After the incident with Reimer, a Bay County judge on Jan. 23 sentenced Bergstrom to 28 to 90 months in prison.

Bergstrom still owes $371 in court fines and $1,486.19 in restitution stemming from a 2012 conviction of malicious destruction of property between $200 and $1,000, according to court records.
