Story here. Excerpt:

'A Burlington woman pleaded guilty last week to felony obstruction of justice, falsely reporting that a man raped her sister.

Patricia Suzzane May, 38, of Kimesville Road, Burlington, was charged with sell/deliver a schedule II controlled substance on March 9. She was also charged with making a false statement to investigators, that the man she sold drugs to had raped her sister.

May was later indicted on a felony obstruction of justice charge.

In exchange for the plea, the remaining charges were dismissed. Superior Court Judge Elaine Bushfan issued a four- to 14-month sentence as a level-one offender and placed her on 24 months’ probation. May was ordered to complete a seven-day split, active sentence in the Alamance County Jail and have no contact with the victim in the case.'
