Safia Z. Jilani, 19, of Oak Brook has been arrested for filing a false police report stemming from her claim last week that she was attacked by a masked gunman. Elmhurst Police Chief Steve Neubauer said, "The totality of all the evidence, and interviews with staff and students at the college ... concluded that this incident never happened." Some of our commenters brought up this possibility last week. We guess they owe us a "told-ya-so."
