PANAMA CITY -- A woman who told police a man kidnapped her and forced her to drive him several hundred feet before he tied her up and left her in the car has been charged with lying to police after she admitted to making up the story to get attention, according to the Panama City Police Department.
Cassandra Henderson, 18, is charged with false report of commission of crimes. She was arrested a day after she told police a man was in the back seat of her car when she got inside after she finished work early Monday.
The man, she said, forced her to drive from the Waffle House at U.S. 231 and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to the Mariner Plaza shopping mall roughly a block away, where he tied her up and put her in the backseat.
