Artasia Viges, 24, is facing multiple charges after police said she lied about her son being kidnapped after she left him unattended on a major roadway.
A Louisiana woman is behind bars after police say she falsely reported the kidnapping of her young son last week. Artasia Viges, 24, called authorities at around 1 a.m. on Nov. 5 to report the alleged kidnapping of her young son near U.S. 190 and Industrial Road in Eunice, according to the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office. Viges said she was parked on the roadway changing a flat tire when 'individuals in an older model truck' took her son.
The child, whose age was not disclosed, told police that his mother 'ran him over' and left him on the side of the road. He was taken to a hospital to be treated. Juvenile detectives with the sheriff's office were called to investigate because of the extreme difference in statements between the child and his mother.
