Investigators determined his reason behind the false police report was that he wanted to take ‘revenge over a failed Internet relationship’ with a woman who lived in North Carolina, according to the sheriff’s office. — Photo by LOGAN WEAVER | @LGNWVR on Unsplash
Bad blood over a “failed Internet relationship” lead one man to “swat” his ex-girlfriend’s home, North Carolina deputies said.
The 19-year-old, from Minnesota, was arrested Dec 5 in North Carolina after law enforcement responded to a false report Oct 16 of several people being shot at a home in Vass, according to a Moore County Sheriff’s Office Facebook post. The response team determined there was not a shooting, the sheriff’s office said, and deputies began to investigate the false claim.
