A Bowie area woman has been arrested for making a false statement to police while she was making an assault complaint.
Police Chief Guy Green said Crystal Yvonne Martinez, 41, was arrested at her home north of Bowie on May 25. She was booked into the county jail on the Class B misdemeanor and released on $750 bond on May 26.
The complaint stems from the investigation of an assault Martinez said occurred on May 22. She called 911 and said she was being attacked in her vehicle at 2:52 p.m. on that Monday.
