you would have to prove it to the police and who was it also what did he/she look like.
Another View: Making a false report of a crime to law enforcement is against the law everywhere. It is usually a misdemeanor charge. If your false report resulted in the arrest of another person, that person could sue you for civil damages.

What can happen to a person who lied to the police?
Charges can be filed. To lie to the police is perjury and giving false information to them.
What are the consequences of lying to the cops?
The question is too vague to answer as it stands. If someone else committed a crime, and you saw it, but lied to police about it, you could theoretically be charged with aiding and abetting or with hampering a police investigation. If you lied and said that someone committed a crime when they didn't, you can be charged with the crime of making a false report or something similar. Also, the person you accused can sue you in civil court. If you committed a crime but lied about it to the police... well, they kind of expect that most criminals are not going to admit to it; that's not generally considered an additional crime even though technically it would be hampering a police investigation. Lying in court on the witness stand is perjury. Penalties for perjury can be fairly severe.
