A dangerous hoax in Marine City is now turning personal. Police say a fake hostage call on April 12th triggered a massive four-hour response near South Water Street, only to be confirmed as a “swatting” incident with no victims. Now, the suspect is targeting officers and others involved, including Police Chief James Heaslip’s own family, using stolen personal information to make new threats. Authorities, including the FBI, are working to track the suspect, who has carried out similar hoaxes across the country.
