Man allegedly files false police report

The police got involved after a man allegedly filed a false police report on Wednesday night, according to a spokesperson for the Vallejo Police Department.

Herbert Jacks, 36, of Suisun City, was in a local hospital for a gunshot wound to his hand around 11 p.m. Whenever people come to the hospital with gunshot wounds, a police report must be filed, according to V.P.D.

Jacks is accused of initially creating a false story about his left hand got shot, pinning the action on another party. Eventually, police say, he admitted to accidently shooting himself.

Since Jacks was being treated for his wound, he was not arrested, but V.P.D. will be turning over his case to the district attorney for possible prosecution, they said. The police also did a welfare check at his home to make sure no one else was injured.
