SIOUX FALLS, S.D.  —  Sioux Falls police trying to arrest a Lincoln, Neb., woman on shoplifting and drug charges say she faked birth pains.

Officers were called to The Empire Mall Monday for a report of a woman stealing a key chain.

When they searched 35-year-old Erica McNally's purse, they also found pain pills without a prescription.

As she was being arrested, McNally said she was going into labor, so she was taken by ambulance to a hospital.

Doctors determined that not only was not in labor, she wasn't even pregnant.

Police say McNally will have to pay for the ambulance ride and hospital visit.

The only thing about this that I find hard to believe is that she wasn't from Florida.
