Fake Robbery ends in Real Arrest

One arrested after filing false police report.

On April 18, investigators from the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call of a robbery in the parking lot of Buck’s Superette.

Pamela Ann Cheek, of Toccoa, had reported that a male subject had jumped into her vehicle where she was parked outside of Buck’s Superette, grabbed her prescription bottle of Oxycodone from her hands and took off running away from Big A Road.

After questioning Cheek, investigators retrieved video footage from the security cameras.

Stephens County Sheriff Randy Shirley explained that after reviewing the footage, investigators soon were able to determine that Cheek had falsified her report of being robbed.

Cheek eventually admitted to investigators that her story was made up in order to conceal the fact that she had given her prescription of Oxycodone to another female so that they could be sold.

However, the third party female failed to produce money for the pills.

Cheek, soon told investigators, she had made up the story of being robbed and was intending to use the report that she filed to law enforcement in order to refill her prescription.

Shirley told WNEG News earlier that Cheek was arrested and charged with distribution of schedule II controlled substance and felony false statements and writings; concealment of facts.

Cheek is currently being held at the Stephens County Jail on a $20,000 bond.
