A New Jersey woman who was found bound with zip ties in the woods and marked with a derogatory phrase referencing President Donald Trump is now accused of staging the attack.

Natalie Greene, 26, is charged with conspiracy to convey false statements and hoaxes and making false statements to federal law enforcement.

According to court documents, Greene and a co-conspirator called 911 late July 23 and claimed that three men had attacked them on a trail at the Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve. The co-conspirator told dispatchers the men referenced Greene by name and mentioned her job in politics. According to reports, Greene previously worked for a Republican congressman.

Me: I wonder how they know it was staged

But investigators later concluded Greene had staged the attack, alleging she paid a body modification artist earlier to make it look like she was injured. Officers also found zip ties in Greene’s vehicle similar to those used on her, and the co-conspirator’s phone had been used two days earlier to search “zip ties near me."

Lol

I wasn't aware zip ties were that hard to find for some people

I guess when you order everything online your whole life, you may never develop a sense of what stores and what departments items are usually sold in. 🤔

A body mod artist does literally wound you, it's not paint. It's plugs cut out, sub dermals inserted, or just ears pierced if you're vanilla, that's the sort of thing they do.

ER staff smells that BS in seconds of opening her mouth.

"She had lacerations on her face, neck, chest and shoulder"

Scarification is a form of body mod
