Ga. prisoner accused of lying about possible Ebola

ATLANTA (AP) Prosecutors have accused a prisoner in Georgia of lying about potentially getting Ebola while traveling in Africa, a claim that triggered an emergency response at an Atlanta area jail and hospital. <br /> <br /> Harry Randall Withers was indicted Thursday on three counts of making false statements. He was being held without bond Friday at a jail north of Atlanta. <br /> <br /> After his arrest for drunken driving, Withers allegedly told officials that he left the United States on Sept. 10 to see a friend in Kenya. Officials said Withers claimed that he had traveled through Nigeria, Liberia and Belgium during his trip. <br /> <br /> Authorities said a check of Withers' passport showed he had not left the United States since 2005.
