OZARK — An Arkansas State Police investigator says a woman who accused three Ozark men and a teenager of raping her has recanted the allegation.
Authorities arrested 23-year-old Bobby Wilson, 20-year-old Morgan Applegate, 26-year-old Ashley Wheeler and the teenager after the woman accused them of raping her with a foreign object.
State Police Lt. Steve Coppinger says the four were released Monday after the woman changed her story.
Ozark Police Chief Jim Noggle says the State Police has been asked to investigate the woman and prosecutors will decide whether to file charges against her.
