False Crime Reports Lead to Arrest of 39-Year-Old Woman in Bogalusa

Bogalusa – This morning, Troopers arrested 39-year-old Samantha Williams of Angie on two counts of Filing or Maintaining False Public Records. The investigation, which was turned over to the Louisiana State Police (LSP) by the Bogalusa Police Department (BPD) in June 2023, revealed that Williams had submitted numerous complaints to the BPD, claiming to be a victim of various crimes. After a thorough investigation by LSP investigators, it was determined that Williams had fabricated the claims.

An arrest warrant was obtained from the 22nd Judicial District Court in Washington Parish, and she was subsequently booked into the Washington Parish Jail on the above-listed charges. This investigation remains active and ongoing.
