Thompson said the false calls, referred to as “swatting,” started Oct. 30 and continued through late December. He said while his department can prove Sanspree’s connection to false calls in his jurisdiction, the investigation may extend far beyond Alabama. Thompson said his department is working with law enforcement agencies as far away as Georgia, Wyoming, and Massachusetts to determine if swatting calls in those places are connected.

Asked for his reaction to an on-duty officer allegedly committing these crimes and thinking it was funny, Thompson was blunt. “Point blank, honest with you, it pissed me off,” he stated.
