Parsippany Woman Taunts Police On Social Media After Making Phony 911 Call: Cops

By Daniel Hubbard

Police arrested a woman after she called 911 and lied about an attack happening so she could leave a Wayne restaurant and not get arrested for driving under the influence, police said.

Hayley Oates, 25, called the Wayne Police Department at 3:15 a.m. Monday to report that a woman was being attacked in the Mothers Ale House parking lot; she said the alleged suspect was in a blue pick-up and abruptly ended the call, said Capt. Laurence Martin.

Police found no evidence at Mothers Ale House and survelliance footage of the area did not show that an assault had occurred, police said.

Detectives were told that the call was designed to draw police to the location as Oates and her friend could leave the Grasshopper Too without being arrested for driving under the influence, Martin reported.

Detective Sgt. Robert Simpson and Detective David Collins conducted an extensive investigation and found that Oates posted on social media:

“LMAO... 2 mins later the cop peals out... silly piggies tricks r for u”

Oates, of Lake Hiawatha, was charged with filing a false police report and creating false public alarm.

“The Wayne Police Department takes these events extremely seriously. Officers place themselves in harm’s way daily responding to real events throughout Wayne Towns and in support of our partners in public safety,” Martin said. “Falsely creating a situation that requires Officers to execute emergency response, indicating that an event exits that’s a threat to life or property is inexcusable and reprehensible behavior.”
