The New York woman who called the law on a birdwatch faces criminal charges. |
Amy Cooper is going to be criminally charge for making a false police report.
She got into a heated confrontation with Christian Cooper, a Black birdwatcher who asked her to put a leash on her dog. The two are not related.
The woman is a white financier who called the New York Police Department on Cooper after he told her that having a dog off the leash is restricted around the bird sanctuary.
Christian Cooper has not accepted the apology from the woman who accused him of attacking her. |
"We are strongly committed to holding perpetrators of this conduct accountable."
The woman was given a desk appearance ticket and will be arraigned in October.
If convicted, she could be given a conditional discharge or sentenced to community control or counseling rather than time in the iron college.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
