<article id="ra-body">Police charged Steven Sampson, 41, with making a false written statement and filing a false report on Wednesday.<br />
Sampson initially told police he pulled over at the corner of Bolton and Randall Aves., in Clason Point at about 2 a.m. to rearrange his gifts when a group of men confronted him, police sources said.<br />
Steven Sampson, 41, a 17-year veteran EMT, told police and reporters he battled four men who stole nearly $3,000 in Christmas gifts from him at the corner of Bolton and Randall Aves. in Clason Pt. early Christmas morning. However, after the story of violent robbery on Christmas by a group of men who called him “cracker” unraveled, Sampson has been suspended from his job and faces further investigation.<br />
On Wednesday, police charged him with making a false written statement and filing a false report. He received a desk appearance ticket, and faces further scrutiny from the Bronx District Attorney’s Public Integrity Bureau, officials said.<br />
Apparently Sampson, who was stabbed in the shoulder, made up the story of being assaulted and robbed at a Christmas party as a cover story because he was there with a woman other than his wife.<br />
A police spokesman said Sampson changed his account of what happened more than once and, when confronted with the contradictions, he recanted his story completely. He was issued a desk appearance ticket by police.</p>
