Woman Lies About Being Kidnapped. The Reason Why Will Leave You Scratching Your Head.

A woman told Fresno, CA police on Saturday that she was kidnapped by two African-American men who forced their way into her vehicle and held her at gun point. She said the men told her to drive west. Once in west Fresno, the woman says she thinks she was pistol whipped because she blacked out and awoke hours later in her backseat. She was bruised, bound, and gagged. The $9,000 she had with her to pay two subcontractors who drove for her trucking company had been stolen. She ran to a nearby home for help and went to the hospital, according to police. Once there, she claimed she had been sexually assaulted and cried.

None of this was true, according to an article in the Fresno Bee posted the day after her claims.
