Woman Charged with Ten Counts of Falsely Reporting an Incident

A Jamestown woman is under arrest, charged with making false accusations about a man to Child Protective Services.

New York State Police arrested 46-year-old Holly Hoitink on Wednesday, January 5, 2022 following a several months-long investigation.
