Accused Of Making False Police Report Arrested

 Michael Canfield was arrested by Manteno police and charged with submitting a false police report. According to police reports, officers were dispatched to an apartment in the 100 block of Second Street multiple times.



The first call came at 11:30 a.m. Canfield said a neighbor who owed him money battered him. Officers talked to Canfield and the neighbor. The neighbor denied Canfield’s claims. They were told a report would be sent to the state’s attorney’s office for charges to be considered.


At. 8:40 p.m., police returned after Canfield called 911 and reported his neighbor had battered him again. He said the neighbor had left.


An officer said he did not see any signs that indicated Canfield had been harmed. The officer noted there was a strong odor of alcohol coming from Canfield while speaking to him, according to police. Canfield said he had not been drinking.


Canfield called 911 a third time to report the neighbor was back home. He called back and said the neighbor had thrown him down the stairs.


In a report, an officer said he did not see any signs indicating Canfield had been thrown down the stairs and neighbor denied he had thrown Canfield down the stairs.


Asked again by officers if the neighbor had battered him, Canfield said he had not. Canfield was upset the neighbor was not arrested earlier in the day, according to police reports.


According to a report, Canfield also admitted to drinking alcohol. A judge set Canfield’s bond at $10,000.


In California, A Southern California police officer has been charged with filing a false report and lying in court about a traffic stop. The Orange County District Attorney's Office said 28-year-old Anaheim police Officer Dillon Adam Avila was charged with two felony counts. He was scheduled to be arraigned Friday.


Prosecutors say Avila and his partner stopped a driver in April 2018 and searched his vehicle, even though the driver didn't consent. Drugs were found and the driver was charged, but body-worn camera footage later showed the driver didn't agree to the search, the district attorney's office said in a statement.


Prosecutors dismissed the charges against the driver earlier this year. Avila declined to immediately comment. He would not provide the name of an attorney, and no lawyer was listed for him on the court's website.


Police Sgt. Shane Carringer said Avila has been placed on administrative leave and the department is conducting a personnel investigation. He declined to comment on the allegations.
