Story here. Excerpt:
'TROY — A Wapakoneta woman will be paying authorities $892 for the overtime detectives used to investigate her false claim of being raped.
Melissa Turner, 40, told the sheriff's office May 19 she was raped on the banks of the Great Miami River, under the Eldean Bridge north of Troy. She admitted May 21 that she had lied, according to court documents.
She pleaded guilty to the felony charge in November and was sentenced Monday, Jan. 12 to community control and order to reimburse the Miami County Sheriff's Office.'

Really?
A "felony" only gets you an $892 fine and community service? That sounds more like a punishment for a misdemeanor. Pathetic!

The Punishment Could Have Been Worse.....
....at least she didn't get 10 lashes with a wet noodle.
Lucky girl!
