Police in Eagan, Minn., say a recent report of a sexual assault at Lebanon Hills Regional Park was false.

A woman reported an assault on Nov. 7 and police launched an investigation. A department spokesperson said Tuesday that the woman now says the assault never happened.

The department said the woman will face charges of filing a false police report.

Eagan police said they are still investigating a separate physical assault at Lebanon Hills reported in September, but as of Tuesday had no new information to report on that case.

The city increased patrols at the park in the wake of the two reports, and police are still asking park visitors to stay aware of their surroundings and report anything suspicious.
