LOUISA, Ky. — A Lawrence County man was arrested after police say he filed a false report.

According to court records, 49-year-old Lonnie Maynard, of Louisa, called 911 Friday night to report that someone has cut his 15-year-old daughter’s throat and she needed immediate help.

Two deputies rushed to his home, only to find all the lights off when they arrived and no one answering when they knocked on the door. After several minutes, the deputies heard someone cough and a gurgling noise, so they went inside, where they found Maynard alone.

He told the deputies that he didn’t know where his daughter was, and when asked if she had been hurt, he told them he didn’t know, but thought that she might be. They later found the girl, unharmed, at a house next-door.

Maynard was arrested and charged with falsely reporting an incident.
