Police: CO man made up knife attack to miss work
By Associated Press
EDGEWATER, Colo. (AP) - Police in the Denver suburb of Edgewater say a man stabbed himself, then said he was attacked by three men dressed in black who were either Hispanic or skinheads, in a ploy to miss work.
Twenty-nine-year-old Aaron Siebers was arrested after police say he admitted making up the assault and said he was responsible for the knife wound to his leg and other superficial cuts on his body. He faces charges of false reporting and obstructing a police officer. Police say Siebers reported the attack Monday to the video store where he works. The reported assault drew five police agencies to the scene, along with K-9 units. Police spokesman Steve Davis says Siebers admitted the story was a lie after repeated questioning from detectives. |
