A Halifax man is facing charges for lying about being assaulted by a state police trooper during a traffic stop.

Kenneth Belle Jr., of Market Street, came to the state police headquarters at Lykens at 10:35 a.m. Saturday to press charges against a trooper who he alleged had slammed a car door on Belle’s leg following a traffic stop on Thursday, according to state police at Elizabethville. A video recording of the stop showed that at no time did the trooper slam the door on Belle’s leg.

Belle admitted he lied about the assault because he was mad about the citations, according to state police.

He subsequently was arrested and charged with making false reports and unsworn falsification and transported to Dauphin County Judicial Center for arraignment.
