Thank god for video surveillance. One wonders why she filed the false allegation to begin with. And at least she is named.

Police officers then accompanied Palmer to the store, where she placed the employee under citizen's arrest for sexual assault. The employee was taken into custody and brought to the police department for questioning. The store manager was called, and subsequently provided security recordings from the store.
After reviewing the recordings, police determined that Palmer had falsely reported the crime to police. The employee was released, and no charges were filed.
Palmer was asked to come to the police department for further questioning, and when confronted with evidence, she admitted that no sexual assault had taken place. She later was booked into Sonoma County Jail for falsely reporting a crime, Urton said.
