7-11 A 44-year-old Cuyahoga Falls woman came to the police station and reported a false insurance claim had been made against her regarding an accident she was not involved in. The victim received a notification from her insurance that a claim had been received, providing her with the information of who filed the claim. The victim is willing to prosecute. After further research officers discovered a hit skip report in which the suspect claimed the victim sideswiped her vehicle. According to the other report, no accident report was generated as the suspect’s statements were inconsistent and changed multiple times. Officers also noted the damage to the suspect’s vehicle was more consistent with hitting a stationary object like a tree or pole, and there was wood debris in the area. Based on the previous report and that the victim claimed lack of involvement in the accident, it is suspected the claim made to the insurance is false.

No other party reported any disorderly conduct from the male; therefore, he was warned for disorderly conduct and advised of trespassing.
