A Weldon woman has been charged with filing a false police report in an apparent attempt to get out of paying debt, the Halifax County Sheriff's Office reports.

An investigation by Detective B.C. Griffin began after an August 2 report was taken on a break-in and subsequent larceny.

Griffin said in a statement there was no evidence of a break-in occurring and he charged Heather Marie Childs, 40.

Griffin said this afternoon the false police report was not an attempt to collect insurance money but “an attempt to avoid paying some debts.”

She was given a $5,000 bond and September 16 court date. “Anyone that is found to be filing a false police report will be prosecuted,” Griffin said in the statement.
