Police: Couple lied about mugging by black guy who ‘looked like Fat Albert’

Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

A suburban Minnesota couple has been charged with making a false police report after they lied to police and said that they were mugged by a Black man who “looked like Fat Albert.”

Ryan Reiersgaard Katie Mager, 27, were celebrating Reiersgaard’s 27th birthday on Thursday when they decided “for fun” to lie to the cops, according to Reiersgaard, who also said that their “shenanigans” occassionally “get out of control.”

The two of them said that they had landed at O’Hare airport and parked their car to go look for a hotel when they were approached by three men on the street. They claimed to have been robbed at knifepoint, losing an engagement ring as well as their luggage, which included $5,000 in cash, a Louis Vitton bag, and a Burberry purse.

They reported that one of the three men smelled of marijuana and “looked like a milk-dud or Fat Albert,” according to the Chicago Tribune.

However, surveillance footage showed that they didn’t even have any luggage with them when they arrived at the airport.

They have each now been charged with one felony count of disorderly conduct of a false police report, a felony, and could face up to three years in prison.
