A 25-year old Madison man is being charged with false reporting to authorities in connection with an incident at Wells Fargo Bank yesterday afternoon.

Around 3:15 on Wednesday, Madison Police have charged Mark. R. Walker with the misdemeanor, even though Walker never called in a report to police officials. Madison Chief of Police Chuck Pulford says in accordance with state statute, Walker is being charged for making a report or intentionally causing the transmission of a report to law enforcement authorities which furnishes information relating to an offense or other incident within their official concern, knowing that such information is false.

An initial court appearance for Walker is scheduled for 9AM on January 10th. Police Chief Pulford says additional charges could be applied to the case.
