TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A suspended Kansas sheriff’s detective has been charged with three counts of felony perjury after an investigation into inconsistencies on investigative reports.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the Kansas Attorney General’s Office filed the charges Tuesday against Shawnee County sheriff’s Detective Erin Thompson. The 39-year-old is free on bond. Her lawyer, Tom Lemon, didn’t immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press seeking comment. She doesn’t have a listed phone number.
