Woman Made False Claim To Police: Cops

The 45-year-old faces a disorderly conduct charge after allegedly making a report of a man being held against his will.

A Lake Forest woman who claimed a man was being confined in a home there is accused of making it up.

Police responded to the home in the 300 block of Wisconsin last month, but were unable to locate the alleged victim, according to the Daily North Shore.

After an investigation, police charged the woman who made the initial call with disorderly conduct on June 22. She has been identified as 45-year-old Grace Steer.
