Can I get a citation for the second sentence above? I can believe that filing a false police report would potentially get you charged, but if you have a concealed weapon on your person, and a cop asks if you have a weapon on you and you say no, then what could you be charged with?
Here are a few that I pulled up. The numbers are obviously the ORS. I didn't find any that related to just "plain" lying to the police....162.325 requires it to be a felony they're after, though there are a lot of felonies any more.

HERE'S A SCARY ONE though not related.
162.315 Resisting arrest. (1) A person commits the crime of resisting arrest if the person intentionally resists a person known by the person to be a peace officer or parole and probation officer in making an arrest.
(2) As used in this section:
(a) “Arrest” has the meaning given that term in ORS 133.005 and includes, but is not limited to, the booking process.
(b) “Parole and probation officer” has the meaning given that term in ORS 181.610.
(c) “Resists” means the use or threatened use of violence, physical force or any other means that creates a substantial risk of physical injury to any person and includes, but is not limited to, behavior clearly intended to prevent being taken into custody by overcoming the actions of the arresting officer. The behavior does not have to result in actual physical injury to an officer. Passive resistance does not constitute behavior intended to prevent being taken into custody.
(3)
It is no defense to a prosecution under this section that the peace officer or parole and probation officer lacked legal authority to make the arrest or book the person, provided the officer was acting under color of official authority.
