Spoony has a history of lying about things when it's convenient and paints him in a better light. People on his subreddit have actually cataloged a lot it very well. A really good example is after JewWario's death Noah seemingly went on about how close he was to him. Despite reports that Spoony wasn't actually close to the Channel Awesome gang outside of strictly work related functions due to his reputation of being really aloof. Recently it went as far as Spoony claiming that Jew Wario's suicide actually is the reason why he hasn't been producing content
This is a lie and it's very provable. Jew Wario's suicide occurred in January of 2014. To date Spoony's last gaming review occurred in August of that same year.

People paying attention can also note that this isn't the first claim Spoony has made in reference to what caused him to completely cease producing content that requires any form of work. Previously he blamed his many vague and undefined illnesses.
So Spoony lying to the police officer isn't surprising the main question is did he genuinely believe he wasn't at fault or did he think the officer would buy it. Personally I think Spoony is delusional and can't come to grips over what he did so he just lies and hopes everyone will just accept that. And his ego is too large that he can't admit to lying so he just keeps lying and hopes eventually the problem will go away.
