Good point, 2Bornot2B, i hope they read what you said and take it down. glad she was caught in her lie.

DEAR WKRG.  If this is true and it appears it is and this was a made up story, why is that video and story on this site.  If the police have fiied charges of filing a false police report, should not, at the very least, an updated be added to this article.  Think of a co-worker or neighbor popping into this site and see this story.  They know one of the people in the video and call the police.  No matter what the police tell them, they will always see these two people as criminals.  I repeat.  IF THIS STORY WAS FALSE, SHOULDN’T THE VIDEO BE REMOVE EVEN IF YOU KEEP THE STORY.  OR AT LEAST ADD AN UPDATE.  This seems a bit slanderous.  Again, I said “IF”.  You are the reporters not me.  I just think it is in poor taste to keep people believing these two did something if they did not.

lo, no Petal…the same principle applies with a knife as does a car, or chopsticks, or any other random object that someone uses to kill someone…they have more than one use and therefore cannot(for that OBVIOUS reason) be a weapon UNTIL its used in a crime…a GUN is made for only one reason…to kill- not to cook, drive, eat with, or whatever other analogy of a random object you try to compare with a gun. to carry a gun you are supposed to register it because they want to keep track of them…if there’s no penalty for careless owners then why bother to register them at all, let’s just put them in coke machine’s, and put a dollar in a buy one.

i tried to find the article on the press register website but could not find it there but that’s where i found out about it, but this girl is the definiton of STUPID!!!

what was this girl thinking? she could have really hurt people.

Mobileguy48,

We reported the update on Janaury 7th. It just didn’t get posted on ou website

[TAKE: OSG][Anchor:MEL][ReadRate:16.0]
A 19 YEAR OLD WOMAN IS IN BIG TROUBLE TONIGHT AFTER TELLING POLICE SHE WAS THE VICTIM OF A ROBBERY IN THE PARKING LOT OF A WAL MART STORE ON SCHILLINGER ROAD.
[TAKE: FULLSCREEN]
POLICE SAY MARANDA SLATE HAS BEEN ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH MAKING A FALSE REPORT.  POLICE SAY SHE MADE UP THE STORY ABOUT BEING APPROACHED BY AN UNKNOWN BLACK MALE
[TAKE VO][CG :2 LINE\Schillinger Road\January 1]
IN THE WAL MART PARKING LOT ON NEW YEAR’S DAY.
SHE SAID THE MAN THREATENED HER AND DEMANDED MONEY.  HOWEVER, POLICE SAY THEIR INVESTIGATION REVEALED SLATE MADE A FALSE REPORT.  SHE WAS ARRESTED TODAY.

It’s really strange that WKRG doesn’t have that story.

OMG she is smiling in her MUGSHOT!!!  Does she think this is funny???  It states that this happened on January 1, did she not have anything better to do on New Years than make up a story like this??? She really does need to work on her New Years Resolutions!!!
