LEWISTON, Idaho (AP) - Police in Lewiston say a convenience store manager who reported she'd been mugged on her way to deposit the day's profits at a local bank is now under investigation for fraud.
The Lewiston Tribune reports detectives are also searching for the woman's boyfriend, who they say may have conspired with her.
Police went to Wells Fargo bank on Wednesday after a woman called to say she'd been mugged. But Sgt. Jeff Arneson says the woman later admitted she made up the story, and her boyfriend is believed to have taken more than $4,000 of the deposit.
Capt. Tom Greene says charges are pending against both the woman and her boyfriend.
