TULSA, Okla. — An EMT from Oklahoma could be facing criminal charges after police say he made up a story about being attacked in a convenience store bathroom.
Officers say the medic told them he was stabbed at a QuikTrip in northwest Tulsa. He even described a suspect, but after police looked at surveillance video they say he made up the story.

The medic was on duty at the time. He was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
No word yet on what led the employee to hurt himself and lie to officers.
