Some commotion at the west side McDonalds on Monday turned out to be a false alarm according to Evansville Police and now a woman may be in trouble for false reporting.

Officers say they were called to the restaurant on South Rosenberger for a hit and run involving a pedestrian.  Both an EPD officer and a sheriff's deputy responded.

The woman who claimed to have been hit and knocked down by a car backing up out of a parking space requested an ambulance due to the fact that she felt nauseous from possibly being pregnant.
