CRESTVIEW — A woman who reported a crime committed by a man later admitted to police officers she had lied “out of emotion.”

The woman reported the crime to Crestview police officers, but later told an officer she had lied and the crime had never occurred. She said she’d been angry and hurt by the person she accused, and had lied “out of emotion,” the officer wrote in the arrest report.

She said she had not been pressured or threatened to recant, and added the black eye she had shown the officer was from her daughter head-butting her.

She explained she’d broken her phone days earlier and blamed the man.

She was charged with filing a false report and has a Feb. 16 court date.
