Officers received a call at 11:20 p.m. Wednesday from a visitor at a motel in the 3000 block of Abram St. reporting that someone had been shot.
When cops arrived, they discovered no indication of a shooting or any criminal activity. They said they spoke with 41-year-old Oscar Vela Jr., who acknowledged fabricating the fraudulent allegation.
