Police: Rape report a hoax

WINONA, Minn., June 27, 2003 -- A Winona woman lied that she had been raped brutally at gun-point and knife-point last October, police said. Tanya Hasan, 23, who has since moved to Florida, has been told to come back to answer a charge of filing a false report, said Deputy Police Chief Andrea Essar. There were too many inconsistencies in Hasar's story, according to Essar, who said police asked the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to investigate separately. The woman said a man a pickup truck forced her car onto a curb near Jefferson School, in the 1200 block of W. Fourth Street, late the night of Oct. 8 and forced her into the back of the truck, Essar said. She also said the man had a knife, Essar said.

Lincoln building now in play

WINONA, Minn., June 19, 2003 -- The Winona School Board voted 4-2 to vacate Lincoln School next summer, clearing the way, possibly, for Winona State University to buy the structure. Board members stressed a deal with Winona State is not for sure, noting that disposition will be based on the marketplace. A $1.7 million appraisal for the structure, at Huff and Sarnia, higher than expected, could ease financial pressure on the Board if the right buyer comes forward. Even so, the Board told Superintendent Eric Bartleson to hiore a lawyer to negotiate with Winona State.
