He’s charged with filing a fake police report and leaving the scene of a car accident!

Shatoric Long, a 33-year-old resident of Conway, has been charged with filing a false report of crime and leaving the scene of an accident with property damage. Law enforcement reportedly think he faked his car getting stolen to cover up an accident. He was booked into jail on January 31st, 2025, according to Faulkner County Sheriff’s Office

Man Accused Of Faking Car Theft After Accident

According to case files, on September 13, 2024, Long reported to Conway Police that his vehicle was stolen, leading to a search in the N. Ash Street area.

Officers found the vehicle abandoned at the intersection of Prince and Clifton Streets, not far from where Long claimed it was taken.

Despite multiple attempts, police could not locate Long at the addresses he provided, raising suspicions about his report’s validity.

Security footage and subsequent police investigation revealed Long was the last person seen with the vehicle, reportedly contradicting his stolen vehicle claim.

The vehicle showed signs of an accident, with parts matching those found at a roundabout, indicating Long left the scene after crashing.

Long faces a Class D felony for the false report and a Class C misdemeanor for leaving the accident scene. His case is now moving through the Faulkner County Circuit Court.

Please note: All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
