The previously unreported April 25 "swatting" incident, or filing of a false report to trigger a potentially dangerous response, is one in a "A check ... revealed no emergency," said the report, which was seen by Reuters through a records request. "The email was likely a swatting by proxy attempt." Reuters was unable to confirm whether any arrests were made.
It does not appear that Pecker was home at the time of the incident, which the police report put at 4:44 p.m. Another unnamed resident was home, according to the report.Reuters reviewed several emergency calls to authorities of hoax calls across the U.S. from a person identified only as "Jamal" who called police to say he had killed his wife.
