Best Answer

The penalty would vary with the crime, and the crime is determined by the nature of the statement. For instance; Giving a false name or making a false police report are usually misdemeanors. On the other hand, if your statement was made to thwart a police investigation or an arrest, or you were falsely giving someone an alibi, it could

amount to an Obstruction of Justice and the penalty could be more severe.
