Woman Allegedly Faked Own Beating

A woman who told police she was attacked in her home after her name appeared on an anti-gay “hit list” was arrested for allegedly faking the crime. Police said Miranda Prather, 23, staged the attack on herself and wrote and distributed posters around town that urged people to “beat up,” “harass” and “kill a queer.” One flier also listed eight people it identified as homosexuals. Prather’s name was atop the list.
