Cops: Woman faked miscarriage with 'animal tissue'

[April 22, 2009]  OAKLAND PARK, Fla. (AP) -- Deputies said a woman in South Florida has faked a miscarriage.

The Broward County Sheriff's Office responded an emergency call of a possible miscarriage just before 8 a.m. Tuesday at an Oakland Park apartment. Upon arrival, they learned a woman staged the incident using what authorities described only as "animal tissue."

Detectives are finished with the case, but prosecutors may charge the woman with lying to authorities.
