Lying is a felony,

Explanation:

In the United States, for example, the general perjury statute under federal law classifies perjury as a felony and provides for a prison sentence of up to five years.

By lying, she's covering evidence and misrepresenting the intentions of the officer as well as defaming the character of the officer. Lying is felony.
