What can we do if someone filed a false police report?
Asked on Nov 18th, 2013 on Criminal Law - Michigan
More details to this question:
16 yr old with no criminal background claimed a gun was pulled on him at school. He signed a police report and was warned that if this incident did not happen, he would be charged with a crime. The police arrested him, charged him with a felony and released him to his parents. What are the chances that he will not be convicted of a crime and not have a criminal record?

Well he needs a lawyer. He also needs to have a psych exam since this shows that there is something wrong. He probably at least needs counseling. If he gets all these things going upfront then maybe he can avoid a record.

I would need more facts about the case. Since they are charging him. it appears that there is far more to this case than what you have said. I would recommend consulting with an attorney who has the ability to review the case file and advise accordingly.

Get to an attorney with the details. I may be possible to mitigate the damages and perhaps even avoid a permanent record. This is serious, with serious ramifications in later life if it on his record.
