Fuentes was arrested and charged with the above offense after she recanted her story of being the victim of a kidnapping. Fuentes originally reported to Area Central detectives that on April 11, 2015, at approximately 8:30 am on the 2000 block of S. Pulaski, while standing at a bus stop a male approached her and struck her in the back head. Fuentes stated that she was then dragged to a nearby abandoned building and held against her will by three male offenders until she was able to escape on April 14, 2015. During the course of the investigation, Fuentes openly admitted to fabricating the story and was subsequently taken into custody and charged accordingly. Charges for Veronica Fuentes
