ST. LOUIS 鈥 A former alderman already facing federal indictment was charged Wednesday with lying to police when he said a woman tried to carjack him late last year.
Brandon Bosley, former alderman for the third ward in north 果酱视频, was charged with one misdemeanor count of making a false report to police.
Bosley livestreamed the aftermath of what he described as an attempted carjacking last December. The video began with him speaking into the camera, and he said a woman demanded his keys and acted like she was going to pull a pistol on him. He also said he heard shots fired from a nearby car.
At one point in the video, he got out of his car and approached the woman he accused of trying to carjack him. She was lying on the ground, and Bosley was carrying a gun as he berated her.
