Oswego Teens Charged After Lying to Cops: Police

Lying to police allegedly landed three Oswego teenagers in hot water after they were stopped by Kendall County Sheriff's deputies.

Sheriff's police said the trio of teen girls — one age 15 and the other two age 16 — were stopped at around 1:30 a.m. Thursday in the 1000 block of Harvey Road for several moving violations and an equipment violation.

After being stopped, the teens allegedly told deputies that one of them was having trouble breathing, and that they were on the way to the hospital. Oswego paramedics were called to the scene, only to tell deputies that the girl who was allegedly having breathing issues admitted to lying, police said.

While investigating the incident, deputies determined another girl had also lied about her identity.

All three were charged with violating curfew and obstructing a police officer, according to the Kendall County Sheriff's office. The driver was also charged with not having a valid license, and the teen who lied about her identity was charged with obstructing identification, police said.
