On 7/13/2014, officers of the Johnson City Police Department arrested Deanna T. Roscoe (1740 Nathaniel Dr. Apt 30, Johnson City, TN; 20 years old) and charged her with False Reporting.
At approximately 2:30 a.m., officers responded to a report of a domestic dispute at 1740 Nathaniel Dr., Apt. 30. When officers arrived, Ms. Roscoe advised that she had been assaulted by her boyfriend, who had left the scene, however no physical evidence was present. Due to the alleged assault, officers began gathering information from Roscoe, who initially stated her name to be a Deanna Stevens, however, no record existed under that name. Roscoe repeatedly insisted this information was correct until she was advised the property manager would be contacted to ascertain her identity. Roscoe then quickly admitted she had lied and gave officers the proper information. As Roscoe knowingly and repeatedly gave officers false information during the investigation of a reported crime, she was taken into custody.
Police arrested Ms. Roscoe and transported her to the Washington County Detention Center, where she was held on a $1,000 bond. Arraignment was set for 1:30 p.m. on 7/14/2014 in Washington County General Sessions Court.
