A University of Louisiana Lafayette student who said she was attacked and robbed of her wallet and hijab has been determined by police to have made up the story, and police are charging her with filing a false police report.
She filed her police report on Wednesday, claiming that two white males attacked her near the campus around 11 a.m. She said that one was wearing a “Trump” hat and they yelled racial obscenities at her.
As the police investigated her claims, they found that they could not locate any witnesses or surveillance video to corroborate her story.
The story of her false attack went viral on mainstream media overnight.
