However, when deputies arrived, the woman was waiting outside and said she was not actually kicked and that nothing was going on. She admitted she lied to dispatch about the domestic battery.

Deputies placed the woman in handcuffs and asked her why she lied to dispatch. She said she had gotten into an argument with the boyfriend over something “simple and stupid” and decided to call the cops on him.
