On December 11, 2018, at approximately 5:15AM, Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to an address in the 17600 block of Dawn Court, Warren Township, for a report of a man threatening to shoot his wife.  

Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies arrived and established a perimeter around the house.  They successfully made contact with the occupants of the home, and a man and woman exited the residence.  Through an interview with both individuals, Sheriff’s Deputies learned there was no domestic incident and no indication there was going to be a shooting or acts of violence.  

Sheriff’s Deputies determined this was a “swatting” incident and further investigation revealed a likely source.

The incident remains under investigation.
