Felony or misdemeanor?
I think that making false statements to a police officer is a felony. Filing a false report is a misdemeanor.
"A grand jury indicted her on one count of making a false police report, a misdemeanor, and one count of false statement, a felony. The felony charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, said Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter. The other count carries a penalty of up to a year."
