Twenty-year-old Courtni Roberts, of Uniontown, faces a preliminary hearing March 31 on a charge of making false reports to police on Feb. 5.
State police say Roberts told a trooper that a car hit her left leg just above the knee and that the driver didn't stop to help. The trooper learned that the injury Roberts claimed to have wasn't consistent with being hit by a car so he questioned her again.
That's when, police say, Roberts admitted making up the story because she was late for work.
The Associated Press could not locate a listed phone for Roberts who is also charged with disorderly conduct.
