Georgia security guard charged with faking his attack http://www.privateofficer.com

BRASELTON, Ga. OCT 24 2008– A security guard is facing criminal charges after police said he lied about being attacked.
Braselton police said Michael Williamson, 53, said he was attacked while on duty. He worked in the guard shack at Chateau Elan Estates, a gated community.
Police said Williamson told them he was attacked from behind, stabbed and choked with a wire by an unseen assailant while on overnight duty at the guard shack. Williamson had scratches on his forearms and hands and had a small puncture to his torso. Police said they saw signs of a struggle at the scene, but they felt Williamson’s wounds didn’t match his story.
The state medical examiner said Williamson faked the injuries by scratching himself with a coat hanger.
Williamson has denied any wrongdoing. Police said they do not know why Williamson made up the story.
He’s charged with lying to police and filing a false report.
He remains in jail on $8,100 bond.
