(Newser) – A white woman who called police on a birdwatcher in New York City's Central Park on Memorial Day will be charged in connection with that call.
Christian Cooper, a 57-year-old Black man and member of the New York City Audubon Society board of directors, asked Amy Cooper to leash her dog per the regulations of the area of the park where she was located, reports ABC News.
She then called 911 and repeatedly said just that.
Now, the New York Times reports the Manhattan district attorney on Monday said Cooper will be charged with falsely reporting an incident, a misdemeanor.
