YPSILANTI, Mich. (WWJ) – Police say an Eastern Michigan University student could face criminal charges after he made up a story about being robbed at gunpoint on campus.

The student claimed he was robbed of his wallet by four men Friday night on the northern edge of the EMU campus near Huron River Drive and then punched before the assailants fled.

AnnArbor.com says EMU’s report has been forwarded to the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s office for review and possible charges. The student could also face punishment from the university.
