Police in Illinois say Morgan Geyser initially refused to give her name to officers when she was captured on the night of Nov. 23.
The Posen Police Department, located south of downtown Chicago near the Indiana border, says officers were called to Thornton’s Truck Stop for a report of a male and female loitering behind the building.
Officers found both Morgan Geyser and the man she was with sleeping on the sidewalk. Geyser repeatedly refused to provide her real name and initially gave a false one, police say.
After officers continued to try to identify her, Geyser told officers she didn’t want to tell them who she was because she had “done something really bad.”
Geyser also suggested officers could “just Google” her name.
Police confirmed it was Geyser and took her into custody. The man she was with, whose name has not been released, was also taken into custody. Neither resisted arrest, police said.
Posen police told Chicago media that Geyser was with a 42-year-old man who she is alleged to be in a relationship. The man was charged with criminal trespassing and obstructing identification and has been released from custody.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has reached out to the Posen Police Department for additional information.
