Orwigsburg man charged with making false reports

An Orwigsburg man is facing a host of charges by Hamburg State Police stemming from an incident last month.

Officials say that 33-year-old Ted Books came to the Hamburg barracks to provide information about a hit and run investigation that happened in June. Books provided details about the crash, but indicated that someone else took his car and committed the hit and run.

Police determined that Books was involved in crash and that he lied to police. He was charged yesterday with filing false reports, reckless driving and related offenses.
