PITTSBURGH–Pittsburgh police say a McCain campaign volunteer made up a story of being robbed, pinned to the ground and having the letter "B” scratched on her face in a politically inspired attack. Maurita Bryant, the assistant chief of the police department’s investigations division, says 20-year-old Ashley Todd is being charged with making a false report to police. Todd, of College Station, Texas, initially said a black man robbed her at knifepoint Wednesday night and then cut her cheek after seeing a McCain sticker on her car.  AP ______ Copyright 2008 Associated Press.
