CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – A Clarksville woman has been arrested after falsely reporting a burglary to police.
According to a news release, Barbara Ishman, 34, told a police officer on the morning of March 30 that her vehicle had been burglarized at Walmart on Fort Campbell Blvd. She said her Gateway laptop, Samsung tablet, and saxophone were taken from her unlocked vehicle while she was shopping.
The laptop and tablet were items Ishman was renting from a local rental company. She called the company to report that the property was stolen, and the company’s representative provided her with the serial numbers of her items.
Throughout the investigation, detectives determined that Ishman pawned a Hewlett Packard laptop and a Samsung tablet at a local pawn shop on March 6. The rental company replaced the Gateway laptop with the Hewlett Packard laptop in December 2014.
During an interview, Ishman admitted that she pawned the items.
She was charged with false report and booked into the Montgomery County Jail on a $3,000 bond.
