Amy Cooper charged for second 911 call on Black birdwatcher claiming he also assaulted her: prosecutors
The woman charged for calling 911 on a Black birdwatcher in Central Park earlier this year, claiming he had threatened her, made a second previously unreported call to police, prosecutors say. Amy Cooper, 40, was charged Wednesday with falsely reporting an incident in the third degree after prosecutors say she called 911 a second time to claim that she was assaulted by Christian Cooper. Earlier this year, Amy Cooper drew widespread condemnation and was fired from her job after she was captured on video frantically calling 911 to claim she was being threatened by "an African American" man while in the New York City park.
