Woman Arrested for Public Intoxication After Falsely Reporting a Shooting

Update by Santa Barbara Police Department

On August 20, 2020, at 11:26 A.M., the Santa Barbara Police Department responded to a report from Santa Barbara City College employees who were with a transient female who stated she’d just seen a man shot in the head at a nearby house on Weldon Road. 

She told Dispatch that the shooter may still be in the house. 

Officers blocked traffic and attempted to determine which address might be involved.  Detectives interviewed the female.  A thorough check of the neighborhood was conducted. 

The female became uncooperative and was arrested for public intoxication from drug use.  A citizen also signed for her arrest for trespassing, as she’d been on another neighborhood property with no lawful purpose. The female eventually gave the name of the supposed shooting victim.  Detectives were able to contact him and determined that he was alive and well. 

The female reporting party, Sheena Blair age 35, was suspected of using hallucinogenic drugs.
