On Wednesday the Manitoba RCMP East District Crime Reduction Enforcement Support Team (CREST) re-arrested 18-year-old Sean Murdock from Fisher River

Murdock faces an additional six counts of Public Mischief in relation to other swatting calls.

After a search and investigation the Mounties found out he made an additional six swatting calls to various police departments located in the United States including;

  • Bridgman Police Department (Bridgman, Michigan)
  • Appleton Police Department (Appleton, Wisconsin)
  • Lane County Sheriff’s Office (Lane County, Oregon)
  • Indianapolis Police Department and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office (Indianapolis, Indiana)
  • Colonial Police Department (Bethlehem, Pennsylvania)
  • Collinsville Police Department and Madison County Sheriff’s Office (Collinsville, Illinois)

These calls ranged from active shooter to bomb threats involving large facilities in these cities.

As a result of the calls, numerous law enforcement personnel were dispatched to these locations which were all determined to be false.

Murdock is scheduled to appear in court on March 8 in Peguis First Nation.
