Tempe Police reported the following incidents Tuesday:

A 25-year-old Cottonwood man was arrested early Tuesday morning and charged with one count of false reporting to law enforcement. The man was reportedly questioned during an accident investigation and gave police a false name. He told police he lied "because I didn't want to go to jail." He was booked into Tempe City Jail.

A 37-year-old Park City, Utah, man was arrested at the intersection of McClintock Drive and Del Rio Drive Sunday night on a charge of obstruction of traffic. Police reportedly found him lying in the roadway, completely blocking the curb lane of northbound McClintock. Three to four vehicles stopped and other traffic was forced to drive around the scene. The man was allegedly very intoxicated and belligerent with police. Police are searching for a suspect who robbed the Sun Foods Market at 1212 E. Apache Blvd. Monday evening.
