todayMarch 19, 2019

The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest in connection with a swatting hoax phone call last year.    The Sheriff’s Office says investigators were able to identify a 17 year old male juvenile from Youngstown , Ohio, as the suspect.   On March 22 last year the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a male subject who stated he had shot someone and had taken hostages at a residence between Beaver Dam and Columbus.    When deputies arrived on the scene they were able to quickly determine the call was a hoax.  Investigators believe the suspect is responsible for making similar calls across the country.
