Man in Washington state arrested for warning people of phony crises -
Swatting involves placing bogus reports of an emergency that would require the intervention of a police SWAT team. Swatting examples are calling about a violent crime taking place and claiming that explosives will be detonated.
These calls can be made to harass or retaliate, but also to extort money from victims. Ashton Connor Garcia, 20, is accused of making over 20 such calls last year June 6 to Sept. 6. Mr. Garcia acquired personal information on his victims and threatened them with retaliation, sometimes making calls on behalf of friends. He demanded money, cryptocurrency, credit card information and sexually explicit photos from some victims, the Justice Department said.
