   An Emmet County woman accused of lying to investigators about a break in and stabbing at her Cross Village home will go to trail, but months later than expected. Dakota Shananaquet is charged with felonious assault and filing a false report. Deputies say she told them a man and woman had broken into the Cross Village home she was staying in and stabbed her 15 times. She also said she stabbed the intruders before they left. Detectives say there were several inconsistencies in her story -- and they think she made it all up. She has been charged, and her trail was set to begin in January, a date that came and went without a trial while the Prosecutor’s office waited for crime lab DNA results from blood found at the scene. Those results are still not back and the Prosecutor's office told us they will not move forward with the case until they hear back from the crime lab. If found guilty of the charges Shananaquet could spend up to four years in prison.
