A man who described himself as a ‘cyber terrorist’ while taunting police and emergency dispatchers during his false reports of violent crimes was sentenced to prison Tuesday morning.
“Garcia often made several hoax calls per week and sometimes multiple calls in a single day. He treated swatting like a form of entertainment in which he was the star performer. He set up internet chatrooms devoted to swatting, and he invited people to come watch his swatting calls as if it were a premier sporting event,” Manca wrote.
As the FBI was investigating the reports of Garcia’s swatting, court records allege he called the police department in Shaker Heights, Ohio, to report a father was holding his family hostage and had a grenade. “Like pouring salt in the wound, you left a voicemail for our chief of police directing him to an online post where you gloated about the event. You wasted countless hours when our patrol officers could have responded to emergencies. I traveled 2400 miles to tell you this in person. I told you that you would be held accountable,” Grispino said during the hearing.“To know that I caused so much pain and irreversible damage to someone for no reason other than petty reasons.
