Man charged with false shooting report

WHITE PLAINS – An Ossining man, who claimed last fall that he was shot while driving on the Saw Mill River Parkway, was arrested Wednesday and charged with two counts each of falsely reporting an incident and obstruction of governmental administration.

Timothy Dvorscak, 27, who sustained a gunshot wound to his right shoulder on November 1, 2007, drove to a retail complex on Route 9A in Elmsford to seek medical help. He told police he was driving on the Saw Mill about 6 p.m. when his rear windshield blew out and he felt a sharp pain in his upper back.

As a result of the shooting claim, police shut down a portion of the parkway. An investigation began and police immediately determined Dvorscak had been shot at close range with a shotgun and doubted his version of the events.

County Police later determined he had been shot earlier in the evening in Yonkers.
