A man in Florida is facing charges after attempting to falsely incriminate his ex-wife’s new partner, according to authorities per Law and Crime. 

Rishil Bisnath, 44, has been accused of making a false report of a nonexistent crime and obstructing an officer without violence, as revealed by records from Palm Beach County court and jail. The root cause of this incident seems to be a dispute over child custody. On Tuesday, Bisnath contacted the sheriff’s office to report a threat against him, as detailed in a probable cause affidavit obtained by Law&Crime.

“Upon arrival, Bisnath presented me with two messages that he stated were sent from his phone to his iPad,”

the affidavit reads.

“Bisnath presented a message that read, ‘I will kill your kids before they turn old.’ After reading the concerning message, I questioned the origins of the text. Bisnath stated [the texts] came from his ex-wife’s new boyfriend.”

He reportedly failed to stick to that story for very long.

“After talking with Bisnath, it was revealed that Bisnath actually created the threatening message and texted to himself in hopes of getting law enforcement to go to his ex-wife’s residence,”

the affidavit reads.

Following his confession, deputies attempted to arrest Bisnath however, he reportedly tried resisting deputies saying,

“You can’t take me to jail”

while attempting to break free.

“I assisted Bisnath to the ground, where he then placed his hands under his stomach in an attempt to further resist his detainment,”

the deputy wrote in the probable cause affidavit.

He was taken into custody and released from jail the following day. His arraignment is scheduled to take place on November 30th.
