STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Authorities allege that a 47-year-old woman repeatedly reported violent crimes that never happened.

Katie Ward called police on at least four different occasions in October and November to falsely report crimes at various North Shore locations, police said.

The Vanderbilt Avenue resident even went as far as to impersonate a man, and told police she killed her wife inside the Richmond Hotel on Nov. 2, according to a criminal complaint.

Ward brought emergency personnel to the Central Avenue hotel two additional times, the complaint says.

On Oct. 18 she called police approximately 10 times, and falsely reported emergencies involving death to various individuals at the hotel, the complaint says.

She allegedly reported she had killed her wife inside the hotel on Nov. 7, and later that night reported she that had murdered her boyfriend inside Project Hospitality's Central Avenue location, according to the complaint.

Police finally caught up with Ward on Monday when she allegedly reported she had murdered her boyfriend inside her Vanderbilt Avenue apartment.

Ward is charged with 26 misdemeanor counts of falsely reporting an incident.

She was arraigned in Richmond County Criminal Court Tuesday, and issued bail of $1,000 cash or bond, which had not been posted by Thursday night. She is due back in court on Monday.

Her lawyer could not be reached for comment Thursday night.
