POLICE: Fearing wife's wrath over spent cash, man claims he was robbed
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. -- A Panama City Beach man reportedly admitted to deputies that he lied about being robbed so he wouldn't have to tell his wife that he spent the money.
The Bay County Sheriff's Office reported that a 30-year-old man was arrested and charged Friday with making a false report.
According to a report, the man called 9-1-1 from a Panama City Beach store and claimed that he was getting into his car when a man dressed in black hit him and took $100 in cash. But the store's surveillance video showed the man walk out of the store, sit in his car for a short time and then go back inside to use the phone.
After deputies showed the man the video, he acknowledged that he hadn't actually been robbed.
The man was released from jail Saturday on $750 bail.
