About three weeks after a Savannah woman reported her car had been stolen, Savannah-Chatham police charged her Monday with false report of a crime.
30-year-old Sylvia Annette Johnson, of the 1100 block of East Bolton Street, was arrested Monday and charged after police investigated her claim that her car, found wrecked and abandoned June 8, had been stolen.
Johnson told officers she'd parked the 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo at her home about 10 p.m., June 7 and taken the keys with her. She said it had been stolen sometime between then and when it was found wrecked about six blocks away on East 31st Street about 7 a.m., June 8.
Investigating officers, Miller said, located the keys inside the car. Officers arrested Johnson on Monday and booked her into the Chatham County jail.
