A 17-year-old Lodi Township girl claimed a man exposed himself to her Saturday night, then later admitted she lied in an attempt to get attention, Ann Arbor police said.
So far, no charges have been filed against the teen, police said.
The girl told officers a man jumped out of the bushes on State Street at about 7:45 p.m. and exposed himself, according to the police report. She provided investigators with a description of the man, including his skin color, height, build, hair color and age, the report said.
Police responded after receiving a 911 call. A tracking dog was brought to the scene to search the area, and University of Michigan police also were notified.
The girl originally told two women who were looking at Christmas trees that she was raped, the report said. She was crying when she talked to them, according to the report.
The girl apologized to police, and her parents told investigators she has a mental disorder, the report said.
The incident remains under investigation, police Lt. Renee Bush said.
