MARINETTE, WI (WTAQ)- Marinette County Sheriff officials are warning of “swatting” calling it a waste of time and resources.
Over the weekend, Sheriff deputies say they received a report from a man who said he stabbed his wife to death, and then thought they heard gunshots over the phone.
Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the call.
When they arrived at the residence in Florence county, the person did not know about the incident.
Sheriff officials addressed their concerns on the department’s Facebook page.
