A grand jury indicted the 32-year-old woman on one count of making a false police report, a misdemeanor, and one count of false statement, a felony, said Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter.The felony charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, he said. The other count carries a penalty of up to a year.

"We believe this is a reasonable next step in the case. We believe the grand jury made the right decision," Porter said."At some point you just can't lie to the police," he said. A bench warrant will be issued for Wilbanks' arrest within the next few days, he added. No court date has been set.

This indictment does not rule out a possible plea agreement to lesser charges, Porter said.
