BOWLING GREEN (13abc Action News) - Strong accusations were made by a Bowling Green State University student the day after election day.
Eleesha Long said she was assaulted and called a racial slur, but BG police said she made the story up.
Long wrote a police complaint on November 9th that reads in part, "while walking down Crim St to ask for yard signs, three boys began to throw rocks at me."
Long continued to write the white males shouted profanity at her while wearing Trump shirts. She described how all three young men looked and what they were wearing.
Reports show she posted what happened to her on Facebook page, but never called 911.
BG detectives said her post got a lot of attention, including her father who told law enforcement he couldn't locate the 24-year-old after the alleged incident.
A BGSU officer took Long to the police station where she gave a statement.
However, throughout the investigation she changed her story multiple times.
Lt. Dan Mancuso with the BG Police Division said, "several times the complainant changed her story about what happened, where it happened, and when it happened."
Lt. Mancuso said they obtained a search warrant for her Facebook and Verizon history. Turned out, she wasn't where she said she was Lt. Mancuso added.
"Based on that information, it proved that she was not in the location that of when she said it occurred," Lt. Mancuso told 13abc.
Her text messages allegedly reveal her real motivation may have been frustration with friends and family who were Trump supporters.
A BG student, Monica Florez said, "I think that it's terrible that someone would want to start lying about something like that."
The police reports are laced with racist remarks against Trump supporters that she sent to her boyfriend and mother. According to reports, she used words like, "this is why you should take an IQ test to vote," "I hope they all get AIDS," "I haven't met a decent Trump supporter yet."
A BG student said regardless of who you wanted to win the election, "we all have to move forward together and make peace."
Karl Hinshaw, the Pres. of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. said "I feel like as a country we need to try to get away from that whole race issue, but unfortunately things happen everyday."
Long was charged with falsification and obstructing official business. She was also issued a citation and will have a future court date.
13abc spoke with Long. She said she has an attorney and will fight the case.
I have to assume that these stories are a lie each and every time I come across one. ...so far, I am proven right every time.
Why don’t they show a picture of her so we know who to stay away from?
Gee, I’m shocked that someone would make up something like this. Utterly shocked. /s
Bowling Green is in Southern Kentucky.
Its racist to even question her claims. The fact that she simply “feels” oppression is proof of its existence, regardless of whatever the specifics of the actual events are.
(yes, there are people who say this...)
The only way to stop these hoax hate crimes would be heavy punishments for the hoaxers. If there was a felony conviction with a year or two in prison for each faked claim, I’ll bet there would be far fewer hoaxed reports.
These hoaxers destroy innocent people’s lives, cost the local governments a lot of money and perpetuate a false information. They are a festering sore on society.
Will the school impose any penalty on this student, as they would for anyone committing a hate crime? (I think fake hate crime are hate crimes themselves; their sole purpose is to smear and spread hate against the person or group alleged to have committed the crime.)
The press is very careful to say "REPORTS of hate crimes have increased since Trump won".
I wouldn’t be surprised if the (incorrectly drawn) swastikas on the Beastie Boys memorial in New York weren’t also a fake hate crime. After all, the average Trump voter is supposedly an out-of-touch older white voter who - if he has heard of The Beastie Boys at all - is probably unaware that they were Jewish, that one member is dead, and that he has a memorial in a New York park.
Yup .... What do you do about the constant barrage of “Fake News” that is being staged and covered by genuine New Outlets and reported as a real event .... then when found to be fake .... never posting a retraction or burying the 2.3 second retraction without actually reporting it in any significant way?
Every single one of these “Trump Shirt” attacks has been a fake.
Every single one.
LOL. I know that, I live in KY.
However, there are 11 cities named Bowling Green in the US, including one in Ohio. So my point stands. They should put city and state in their location information.
I love how her social media history and her smart phone were used to prove she was lying.
Stupid internet SJW doesn’t actually know how technology works.
Someone needs to keep track of all these phony incidents. These are enough to write an entire book about.
I wonder if they would have been so willing to ‘move past this’ if it were true.
She needs to go to jail and pay restitution.
And their reasoning is: Well, I felt that it could have happened!
“this is why you should take an IQ test to vote,”
The electorate would be overly white and Asian if this was required.
