PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A Pike County man was taken to jail for falsely reporting an incident after telling police someone was shooting at him.

Jessie Cochran, 28, of Caney Creek Road, called Kentucky State Police to report he heard gunshots at his house, and when he ran outside to hide, he saw two people in camouflage, shooting at him.

When police arrived at the scene, they spoke to Cochran’s grandparents, who live next door. They told police they hadn’t heard any gunshots, but said their grandson had been running around the yard, pretending to dodge bullets and hiding under cars.

Cochran was arrested on a misdemeanor count of falsely reporting an incident to law enforcement.
