How much trouble can u get in for lying to the police?

my brother made up a lie about someone coming up to him with a knife. he said that he tried to run and the guy was catching up to him so he picked up a stick and beat the guys face in with a stick. it went so far that we told him we had to report it and he even told a police officer about it. he just admitted to it being a lie. how much trouble can he get in?

Depends on which state you are in. You never said. Here in Florida:

837.05 False reports to law enforcement authorities.--

(1) Except as provided in subsection (2), whoever knowingly gives false information to any law enforcement officer concerning the alleged commission of any crime, commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

(2) Whoever knowingly gives false information to a law enforcement officer concerning the alleged commission of a capital felony, commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.


Republicans: politically spent
A 27-year-old Cleveland man will be charged with making false alarms after he fell outside a strip club earlier this month and made the incident out to be a hate crime, police say.

David Kocmit could face six months in jail and up to a $1,000 fine if convicted. He will formally be arraigned March 3.
