WARSAW, Ind. - An Indiana man has been arrested after police said he falsely accused an area officer of killing a Tennessee woman who has been missing for two years.
Michael Roy Wiggins, 32, was being held Tuesday on $100,000 bond in the Kosciusko County Jail.
The Journal Gazette reports Wiggins was arrested Monday on preliminary charges of obstruction of justice and false informing.

Police said the officer recently had arrested Wiggins.

Wallace 'stand' was 50 years ago
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - It was 50 years ago that then-Gov. George Wallace staged his "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door" to prevent blacks from attending the University of Alabama.
On Tuesday, a racially integrated crowd gathered in Tuscaloosa to remember that landmark event of June 11, 1963.
The university staged a commemoration Tuesday evening at Foster Auditorium, where Wallace faced down federal officials to oppose integration. The event honored the courage of Vivian Malone and James Hood, the two black students who enrolled despite Wallace's actions.
A memorial plaza honoring the first minority students is located at the site of Wallace's stand.
Belmont's College of Law, housed in a new building that opened in August, includes a state-of-the-art law library.
Today the University of Alabama is about 13 percent black.
