Woman slashes own throat to get pain medication

A woman called 911 in Bradenton, Florida on Thursday afternoon to report that a man had broken into her apartment and attacked her, slashing her throat.

Police and medical personnel rushed to the scene in the 700 block of 51st Street East to find a 30-year-old woman with cuts to her neck.

Officers cordoned off the area and conducted an intense search for the suspect, who couldn't be found.

Investigators say it turns out there never was a home invasion and that the woman had cut her own throat.

Investigators say the "victim" made the whole story up in an attempt to get pain medication.

The woman was taken to a hospital for a treatment. No criminal charges will be filed against the woman.
