In some jurisdictions that actual charge IS "Giving a false statement to law enforcement." Other charges might be; 'Obstruction of Justice' - 'Hindering a Police Investigation' - Etc.

Depending on the nature of information you gave, including giving a fake name or birthdate for yourself to hide warrants or your age, the charge added could also be for presenting an officer with a "...false identification upon a lawful arrest."

This statement is false brain teaser?

Let us consider "This statement is false." This quotation could also be read as "This, which is a statement, is false," which could by extent be read as "This is a statement and it is false." Let's call this quotation P. The statement that P is a statement will be called Q. If S, then R and S equals R; therefore, if Q, then P equals not-P (since it equals Q and not-P). Since P cannot equal not-P, we know that Q is false. Since Q is false, P is not a statement. Since P says that it is a statement, which is false, P itself is false. Note that being false does not make P a statement; all things that are statements are true or false, but it is not necessarily true that all things that are true or false are statements. In summary: "this statement is false" is false because it says it's a statement but it isn't.
