Introduction
From August 2015 to August 2017, a man named Rodney Phipps was sentenced to prison for making fake phone calls to emergency services calls that would end up sending SWAT and police to strangers’ residences in practice known as “swatting.”
The District of Delaware sentenced Phipps to 37 months in prison for the phone calls. However, Phipps is not the only one guilty of such phone calls. Numerous swatting attempts have been made in the past by various people.
