A former Lake County jail inmate charged with falsely accusing a corrections officer with abusing him surrendered to authorities today.
Patrick Anderson, 29, who has addresses in Waukegan and McHenry, is charged with felony disorderly conduct for telling officials he was beaten and Tasered by a corrections officer.
Sheriff's officials accused Anderson of filing a false police report when they said an investigation determined the allegation was not true.

Anderson is due to appear in court April 20, Nerheim said.
