Ohio Teen Charged For Dodge County “Swatting” Incident

A teenager from Ohio faces more than 70 charges in what is called a “swatting” incident from last year in Dodge County.  Forty of the charges against the suspect are felonies.  Swatting occurs when a call is placed to emergency responders aimed at getting an armed response to a location where there is no real emergency.  The teenager’s name hasn’t been released.  He was taken into custody in Youngstown, Ohio where officials say he is a suspect in similar incidents in several other states.
