Two Georgia Southern University students were charged Thursday after police learned the armed robbery they claimed took place never happened. The false report came after earlier investigations by Statesboro police for three separate armed robbery incidents and one armed robbery attempt Wednesday. According to Georgia Southern University police reports, officers met with Christina Lauren Gaskins of Eagle Village, at Southern Courtyard apartments around 8:22 a.m. Thursday morning, where she told them she had been approached by three black men around 12:45 a.m. that morning.
