EDGEWATER, Colo. (AP) - Police in the Denver suburb of Edgewater
say a man stabbed himself, then said he was attacked by three men
dressed in black who were either Hispanic or skinheads, in a ploy
to miss work.
Twenty-nine-year-old Aaron Siebers was arrested after police say
he admitted making up the assault and said he was responsible for
the knife wound to his leg and other superficial cuts on his body.
He faces charges of false reporting and obstructing a police
officer.
Police say Siebers reported the attack Monday to the video store
where he works. The reported assault drew five police agencies to
the scene, along with K-9 units.
Police spokesman Steve Davis says Siebers admitted the story was
a lie after repeated questioning from detectives.
