WYOMING, Mich. (WOOD) — Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker says a perjury charge has been issued against the father of the ex-boyfriend of a missing Wyoming mother.
Becker said the charge against 62-year-old Lyle Hudson is related to the investigation regarding Ana Carrillo, the Wyoming woman who has been missing since Sunday. The felony charge carries a potential penalty of life in prison if convicted.
The prosecutor said the perjury charge stems from statements Hudson was compelled to make by an investigative subpoena. Police use the investigative subpoena to force reluctant witnesses to testify under oath in a closed meeting about a criminal investigation. If officers are able to prove that a witness lies while testifying, a perjury charge can be authorized. Becker did not provide details about the nature of the alleged lie(s). No information about when Lyle Hudson might appear before a judge was immediately available.
