If you’re going to say someone attacked you, and carved a B in your cheek because of your mcCain bumpersticker, please make sure to have the letter pointing in the right direction…

And don’t try to set up Barack Obama as the attacker!
A Republican campaign worker who told police she was assaulted by a
man angered by a John McCain sticker on her car admitted she made up
the report, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, assistant police chief said
Friday.

Ashley Todd,
20, of College Park, Texas, has been charged with filing a false police
report, a misdemeanor, and may face more charges, said Pittsburgh
police spokeswoman Diane Richard at a news conference.

Todd is incarcerated at the Allegheny County Jail but had not been arraigned Friday night.

Todd was a volunteer for a John McCain phone bank in Pittsburgh, the campaign said.

“This has wasted so much time. … It’s just a lot of wasted man
hours,” Assistant Police Chief Maurita Bryant said at the same briefing.

The woman told investigators a man approached her Wednesday night at an
ATM in Pittsburgh’s East End, put a blade to her neck and demanded
money, Richard said.

Police said they found “several
inconsistencies” in Todd’s statement and she was not seen in
surveillance videos taken at the ATM. She was asked to take a polygraph
test Friday morning, Richard said. The results were not made public.

Later, Todd came to the police station to help work on a composite
sketch of the alleged attacker. When she arrived, Todd “told them she
just wanted to tell the truth” — that she was not robbed, and there
was no attacker, Bryant said.

Todd originally told police a man
“punched her in the back of the head, knocking her to the ground, and
he continued to punch and kick her while threatening to teach her a
lesson for being a McCain supporter,” according to a police statement.

The woman also told police her attacker “called her a lot of names and
stated that ‘You are going to be a Barack supporter,’ at which time she
states he sat on her chest, pinning both her hands down with his knees,
and scratched into her face a backward letter ‘B’ on the right side of
her face using what she believed to be a very dull knife.”

Bryant described Todd as “very cordial, polite, cooperating,” and said
the woman was surprised by all the media attention. Asked whether the
false report was politically motivated, Bryant replied, “It’s difficult
to say.”

“She is stating that she was in her vehicle driving
around, and she came up with this idea,” she said. “She said she has
prior mental problems and doesn’t know how the backward letter ‘B’ got
on her face.”

However, Todd was the only one in the vehicle, and
“when she saw the ‘B’ she thought she must have been the one who did
it,” Bryant said.

“We’re talking with the district attorney’s
office and conferring on just how we’re going to handle it,” she said.
“It’s been different stories through the night and this morning.”

She said there was no indication that anyone else was involved.

Richard said the woman had described her alleged attacker as an
African-American, 6 feet 4 inches tall with a medium build and short
dark hair, wearing dark clothing and shiny shoes.

Before the revelation that the report was false, McCain spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker said that McCain and running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin “spoke to the victim and her family after learning about the incident.”

The Obama campaign also had issued a statement wishing the woman a “speedy recovery.”
