The Charlottesville Police Department charged Braden MacPherson, a 19-year-old Charlottesville resident, with filing a false police report Tuesday.
MacPherson originally reported that he had been robbed at gunpoint at 3 a.m. last Saturday while approaching his vehicle, a black Volkswagen Jetta, on Washington Avenue. MacPherson reported handing the keys to the robber. The car was found abandoned and overturned at 7:30 a.m. that same morning on Carter's Mountain Trail. The police later determined MacPherson had been driving the vehicle at the time of the accident.
