MARIETTA, Ga. — Marietta police arrested a woman they say called police about a fake armed robbery to divert them from a nearby traffic stop involving her boyfriend.
Officers say Mai-Lynn Yim called 911 around 12:15 a.m. Sunday.
She told them a robbery was happening in the parking lot of the Big Chicken on Cobb Parkway, according to the warrant.
Police say it was all a scheme to draw law enforcement away from her boyfriend, who was stopped by police in the area.
Yim was arrested and charged with false report of a crime.
