Home surveillance video showed Matt McCaffery surrendering to Upper Merion police officers with guns on his porch Friday night.
Matt McCaffery now believes his controversial endorsement led to him being targeted in a swatting incident on Friday.
"It's midnight and somebody's pounding on my door, what the heck could this be?" McCaffery recalled. "Me and my wife met at the top of the stairs and I was like, 'I think we're being swatted.'" Someone had reported a hostage situation at his home, which was determined to be unfounded. Police are still investigating who submitted the false information."We did receive information about a possible hostage situation at the home of Mr. McCaffery. Our officers responded and they found no issues at the location. It is an active investigation and we will not speculate on motive.""There's no doubt in my mind.
While he may not be alone, his stand may cost him his position in the county. He was the subject of a disciplinary hearing Monday night by the Montgomery County GOP.
