'A USC Upstate student is accused of falsely reporting she was the victim of an assault and attempted robbery Tuesday night.

Kendall Ashley Settlemyre, 22, of 226 Samara St, Spartanburg, is charged with filing a false police report of a felony violation. While being interviewed for a follow-up investigation, she confessed to lying about the incident as a result of having an argument with her roommate, said Lt. Kevin Bobo of the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office.
...
Deputies were concerned about her original accounts since five officers were at the complex at the time of the alleged incident for a call concerning a loud party, Bobo said in a statement. Follow-up interviews cast even more doubt on Settlemyre's accounts, deputies said.

Settlemyre was arrested and charged Thursday afternoon. She was taken to the Spartanburg County jail for booking.'

... she didn't claim someone tried to rape her. Maybe she felt this'd be easier to get the police to believe, lacking forensic evidence.

Silly. Dumb. Silly + dumb + action = Stupid
