A Farmington Hills man has pleaded guilty to making a false police report, in which he lied about being stabbed by an assailant making anti-Semitic remarks.

Sean Samitt, 26, entered his plea Feb. 20 before Judge Phyllis McMillen of Oakland County Circuit Court. Sentencing is scheduled for April 8.

According to police, it was Dec. 15, 2019 when Samitt reported that he was leaving Temple Kol Ami synagogue in West Bloomfield Township where he was employed when a man confronted him in the parking lot, making anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant statements.

Samitt said the man attacked him but he fought back and was stabbed in the process. Police were contacted by security staff at Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital when Samitt arrived at the emergency room with a stab wound to the abdomen.

Though police reportedly suspected right away that Samitts account was fabricated, the parking lot and area around the synagogue was searched by officers and police dogs. Samitts self-inflicted stab wound didnt require stitches, as reported by Fox 2 Detroit.
