I wouldn't recommend that. The ATV wasn't "stolen" and he has substantially paid for it. I would file an action in small claims court for the $200 he owes you (or repossession) and associated court costs. If you do it your way, you could be committing a crime in your state (false police report-not sure of MS law in that regard, but it is not worth it).
