Woman Arrested for Falsely Reporting Assault

A Waterbury woman was arrested in Oxford for falsely reporting an assault incident, police stated in a news release.

Kindra Lee Jamele, 38, of 22 Middlesex Road, was charged with second-degree false statement and falsely reporting an incident, the release states.

Jamele originally reported the incident in October to Middlebury police after stating the incident began in that town, before police there realized the alleged incident actually occurred in Oxford, police said. Police said they realized that something in Jamele's story was not adding up.

After an extensive investigation, members of the Oxford Resident Trooper's Office had enough evidence to charge Jamele on Wednesday, police said. The investigation was led by Trooper Josef D'Uva, the report states.

Police did not release details of what kind of assault the Jamele claimed occurred.

She was released on a $5,000 non-surety bond and is scheduled to be arraigned at Derby Superior Court on March 14.
