PALM CITY — A Palm City man was accused of fabricating an armed robbery last week to try to make his girlfriend feel bad for leaving him. He was arrested after deputies unraveled the ruse, according to recently released reports.
Derick A. Culberson, 22, initially told officials late Friday night that two men robbed him at gunpoint, the reports stated. He said the men took his vehicle GPS device and bound his hands and ankles before leaving in an older black Chevrolet Impala.
Investigators found Culberson, of the 1600 block of Southwest Sunset Trail, sitting next to his truck near Leighton Park, his ankles and wrists bound with plastic “zip ties.”
At least a dozen Martin County Sheriff’s deputies searched the area to find the supposed suspect vehicle. Culberson said the robbers wore black shirts, and one had dreadlocks and the other an afro. He described the weapon as a 9 mm or .40-caliber silver pistol, the reports stated.
Investigators, however, said they found inconsistencies in Culberson’s version of events and turned up zip ties in Culberson’s vehicle of the same type that bound his hands and feet.
Culberson eventually acknowledged making up the entire incident “in an attempt to make his girlfriend feel bad for leaving him,” reports states.
“Culberson admitted to tying his own hands and feet, and further inventing the suspects’ vehicle and weapon descriptions he gave to Sheriff’s Office dispatch and deputies,” reports state. more
