A couple in Avon Park, Florida, called the cops early Monday morning with a horrifying story of what appeared to be a possible race-related violent crime, according to sheriff’s deputies in Highlands County. But when investigators grilled the couple, the real story quickly came out. But why the pair, who are both white, attempted to pin the attack on an African American man — who as it turned out, did not exist — remains unclear.

Here’s what happened, according to a report issued on Tuesday by the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office. The deputies said that they received a call at about 5:30 a.m. on Monday from Christina Ann MacCornack, 28, who told the deputies that she had been sitting on her front porch with her boyfriend, 27-year-old Christopher Thomas Jacobs, when a black man with a Mohawk hairstyle attacked both of them for unknown reasons.

Jacobs suffered a stab wound to the stomach, while MacCornack was wounded on one of her legs. But as the investigators quickly learned, the wounds were inflicted not by an unidentified, Mohawk-sporting African American man — but by each other during a violent and bizarre domestic violence incident, according to a report in The Palm Beach Post.

According to the sheriff’s office report as recounted by WFTS News in Tampa Bay, it had already been a rough night for Jacobs, who had just returned home from an overnight hospital stay. The man had been hospitalized after he attempted to change a light bulb the previous night — and electrocuted himself, almost fatally. But not quite.

The two then began arguing outside their home early Monday morning. The subject of their dispute — drugs. During the course of the argument, MacCornack attempted to get away, leaving the home. But she was naked at the time. Whether she had been nude during the entire argument on the porch, or prior to the fight, or whether she removed her clothing during the course of the domestic dispute was not made clear from the sheriff’s office account of the incident.
