Case#: 2010-030456
Time: 9:20 p.m. – Tuesday night
Location: 2828 Market Street (Motel 6)
Offense: False Police Report – ARREST
Summary: The “victim” told a responding WPD officer that he went to the vending machine to get ice. He claimed that a man jumped out of a black SUV, placed a gun in his face and demanded his money. He said he gave up cash, and the man got back into the SUV and drove off. The “victim” also provided a license plate number. Based on information from the NC registration database, officers went to an address on Princess Place Drive and detained a “suspect” matching the description. The alleged victim identified the man as the person who had robbed him, and the man was taken into custody. During subsequent interviews and follow-up investigation, WPD detectives and the arresting officer determined that the alleged victim had made a false report. The original “suspect” was released. Edward Walter Blake, d.o.b. 6-29-1970, was charged with making a false report to police and was placed under $5,000 secure bond.
