A Macon County, Tenn., woman has been indicted for filing a fake sexual assault report.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) says 24-year-old Sarah Elizabeth Suddarth filed a report with police accusing a Jamestown man of sexually assaulting her while at his home in December 2016.

Investigators found the alleged assault never took place. A Fentress County Grand Jury indicted Suddarth on one count of filing a false report.

Tuesday morning, Suddarth turned herself in to police and she was booked into the Fentress County Jail on $2,500 bond.
