A woman faces felony charges after Saint Clair Shores police say she falsely reported that she was robbed and attacked in a grocery store parking lot.

On Saturday Kelly Parsons reported that an unknown male robbed her in the parking lot of the Kroger at 13 Mile and Harper, according to police. She reported that the man hit her in the head and took her wedding ring from her finger.
