Mulberry man arrested for false crime report

Tuesday, November 3, 2009
A Mulberry man was arrested after falsely reporting a crime in early October.

Duane Wahl, 33, of 410 W. Perry, Mulberry, reported to the Mulberry Police Department and the Crawford County Sheriff's Office he was the victim of a drive-by shooting on Oct. 5. Wahl said he was shot at by a white male, driving a newer model silver Toyota extended-cab truck. He reported several shots were fired at his residence form the vehicle before heading southbound.

Following a joint investigation between the MPD and CCSO, it was discovered that Wahl allegedly shot at his own house. Wahl was arrested last week on charges of falsely reporting a crime, obstruction of the legal process, criminal damage of property and unlawful discharge of a weapon within the city limits of Mulberry.

Wahl was released on a $2,000 bond and is scheduled for his first appearance at the Mulberry Municipal Court on Dec. 9.
