Merced Police may file False Police Report Charges against Glendale woman

MERCED, Calif. Merced Police plan to submit a report to prosecutors this week against Nancy Salas for filing a false police report. Police say the 22-year-old probably would face only a misdemeanor that carries up to a year in jail.

Salas vanished from her home May 12th, prompting a wide search. She was found a day later some 300 miles away at a Merced carpet store.

She told Merced Police she'd been kidnapped and sexually assaulted but recanted to Glendale Police. Authorities say she fled to avoid telling her parents she dropped out of U.C.L.A. more than a year ago.
