People are free to file any kind of report on you that they like. However, unless there is some kind of evidence to support it, the police will file it and forget it.

If there is a bit of potential truth to it, or if they are in doubt, they'll send it to the District Attorney. They'll decide whether it warrants further investigation.

It is possible that the police might call or visit to "ask a few questions". If they do, do not answer such, but advise them that until you have a court appointed attorney you have nothing to say.

So long as you are truly innocent, it will go no further than that.
