Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant charged with a "False police report"

[RonS]

I was charged with a false police report in IL which was a felony for me b/c of my prior conviction of drug use. My car was stolen but I told them I didnt know who he was when I only knew his nickname. I have witnesses stating that they knew he stole the car and that he did not give me money, like he said, does anyone think i have a good chance of winning my case? the man had just got arrested recently for stealing a car just after me and is in jail as well.

How did he steal the car?

I'm going to guess you are being charged because you kinda fibbed when you made the report. Did he break into the house and steal the keys while you were out? Did he crack the steering column and hotwire the car? Or, did you give it to him in lieu of money or product owed?

And when you reported it stolen, you did not tell them the guy's nickname? What other info did you leave out?
