look at that turn around on your knees now get on your knees hands on top of your head Inter Lock your fingers keep going keep I got and it's alarming to know that there are still a lot of dumb people who think that throw false threats or making fraudulent 911 calls is a good idea doing so could endanger innocent people or waste police resources that's why when these idiots get caught they have to suffer serious consequences on God you're not doing it right you pick a song me [ __ ] not playing it right bro you already fued it up bro what do that cop oh my God what swatting is the practice of making a prank call to have a SWAT team show up at the door of the prank victim it has the potential to be really dangerous and happens more often than one would think this specific SWAT call happened to Twitch streamer Aiden Ross in November 2022 [Music] open your door for that right with a number of police officers who have shown up for the SWAT operation it's important that they coordinate and be ready for whatever happens next see there's there's walking towards the door walking towards the door there's foot movements towards the door alert be alert there's foot movement toward the door they're right in front of the door and now right yeah the big ones after they have established that someone inside the apartment has opened the door they identify themselves first and tell the suspect what to do David if FIN police I need you to step out your hands up slow who are you with who who with okay open the door your hand up guys I got I'm a St St St I got open keep going keep going people inside not being sure exactly what the situation is the police handcuff Aiden Ross and hold him in custody this is common practice when there's still insufficient details about the case and the situation requires more investigation unsecured detainees May pose a physical threat or conceal physical proof you got a door the left you got a bathroom over here on the left let's let's check this here first let's check this here first let's check this here first let's check here first let's not pass these [Music] unsecure police officers ensure that they take no chances and cover every angle from where an attack could be directed remember they still do not know if another person is inside the apartment guys guys listen to me listen to me remember main thing is upst let's yeah this is secure I'll hold up I'll hold the stairs I'll hold the stairs I see come come hands up there's nobody else there at this point the only other person in the apartment was supposed to be Aiden's girlfriend serious I'm a celebrity somebody SED please don't shoot her please bro please please please I'm going to be you're going to be okay I saw someone for a swap going happen please I swear I'm Stam a YouTuber like I'm not about please they're going my girlfriend's sleeping upstairs bro please she be so scared she might react that he's don't pay sleep I got him right here I got him right man please my girlfri one of the reasons SWAT operations can be dangerous is because innocent people can be shot for not cooperating Aiden is afraid his girlfriend will react and put herself in danger please please marest please bro beg you my girlfriend sleep no she might react bad bro might make sure everything's good S I know I got squatted you know what that is it's not real bro I'm not like that I'm streaming right now live like I'm live that's why I I put my phone it's upstairs so like I got you I got you I'm sorry I'm not try to no it's for my my computer upstairs um guys I'm sorry but like I know this happens to all the streamers my girlfriend's upstairs she like I know you're you're stressed out but we're here to help you guys you guys scar of me I'm not because our is a so obviously well I understand that because it's do you know how you know how it is like think we know the situation is highly stressful so a female officer tries to ease Aiden's fears but it does not seem to help so the only way he can be at ease is if he sees his girlfriend alive and unharmed yeah that's why I'm so scared I'm not how many of us we're trying to keep you calm and we're trying to do this as calm as possible I know I understand we didn't come running in here screaming right huh we didn't come in here running screaming breaking doors I'm asking how am I reacting bad I'm just scared myself I know you are we need to calm down we're asking you questions to try and get what's going on here and that's it eventually you're going to be out of P you're not going to jail you're not under arrest I'm already know you bring it's protocol that during a SWAT operation thees are kept separately until their released or arrests are made bringing Aiden's girlfriend to where he is is strictly not following protocol hey take take him across take him over there czy what's going on you guys there what are you guys we start to get a better sense of what was happening while one of the police interrogates Aiden's girlfriend she starts off not too talkative maybe because she's afraid and nervous like what what are you doing what were you doing um with you're watching him sleeping know like we're just like like talking to the chat so it's a live thing are you guys playing a video game no he like he like uh sorry um we we know about sting we heard just explain what was going on you guys were both in a room basically we're just like um we do like challenges like on YouTube have you seen like the sand challeng yeah like basically we did the same thing like with food like we made like a sandwich that is right now yeah okay yeah and we like cooked it in the kitchen and then we like ate it and then and you guys are recording all that yeah but we're like live so it's not like how many people watching that Aiden's girlfriend seems more at ease now so it's easier for the officer to gather more information meanwhile Aiden's channel was still live and his viewers can see the cops conduct their sweeping operation with their weapons drawn you're not doing it right you're not you're not like I don't know God I'm God you're not doing it right you picking s [ __ ] not it right bro it up bro what is that cops oh my God what why is it cuff talking twitch streamers watch live as police officers search Aiden's apartment people on the know I don't know they just always know like they get like I dresses and they like find out so like sometimes they like the chat will they know at the p as the police officers are starting to realize this was due to a prank call they start to demobilize the operation Aiden seems to be both shocked and excited about the whole event I'm already know that's just crazy crazy I got SWAT bro wow so already SWAT me that's crazy that's crazy do you like no like that's crazy want make sure everybody's good everybody's good Aiden is obviously affected by this but this is not going to be his last time being swatted there are various videos online of Ross getting into similar situations he may not know it yet but his next question is actually relevant to him like how do we like stop this from Happ in the future though they well this is uh this people they call and they say things we gave we don't know oh I'm already know yeah we don't know you guys are doing your job imagine for the wor thinking the worst making sure everybody's safe of that goes to our heads when we doing all this of course we want to make sure everybody's safe every safe we go right this crazy BR what you streaming on Twitch yeah I'm live right now that's why they did it you know what I mean they did it because I'm live on Twitch right now did they walk in the room probably with the cameras on yeah we got to make sure of course all the rooms yeah they're going to it's going to go viral crazy crazy by now the police have decided to call it a day and it's clear to them that Aiden is not responsible for what happened you can be sure the person who swatted him was watching the live stream in the end this whole situation simply wasted a lot of tired police officers time yeah hey got I know yeah I'm sorry bro no I just I know you guys are here and you're prepared to like on the stream Now put on I'm sorry I'm not you guys walking with the camera on hey I'm sorry guys I mean I just want to you guys you guys did the right thing like it's live yeah that's why they guys I had 100,000 in there guys it's going to go viral yeah you guys are all going to be over TI to exp got I know I know it's going to happen guys it's lead that I leave here it's going to happen a lot Aiden Ross would face no charges we hope there will be no more similar incidents in the future bomb threats are taken very seriously and it's not something to joke about in this case the young man makes a false bomb threat by calling the local Wawa and saying that he is parked outside in a red Jeep and he has a bomb his friends immediately called the police on him how's it good where's your brother uh he he left he was in a red Jeep but where where did he leave to I don't know sir where what direction did he leave he went my budy took okay so tell the come over here what direction did he go towards like yeah he went that way so he went South on on can yes sir okay is it a newer Jeep older Jeep it's an old Jeep okay why did he say that I'm not sure he was just trying to be funny okay does he have any sort of mental illnesses um no uh uh any sort of depression or anything like that no he he's completely fine he just he just a kid you know he called tring to be funny is him stating those things could it can he can still go to jail at this point the cop is still unaware that the guy he's talking to is the real perpetrator he's the first guy they meet among the group of friends and he immediately lied to the cops and pretended to be cooperative with them um were you there when he made this phone call no I was not I just want to come in and make sure they didn't say anything I heard bong I don't wanted to get arrested for weed possession okay where where do you guys live I don't live here I live in Tampa okay where does he live uh he lives around here do you know the address no I don't you don't okay is your step brother or yeah brother okay what is how old is he oh he's 16 16 okay what did he say he was uh he was making he he made a bomb thre it to to waa uh not a bong bom right Bomb b o m b bomb no that's horrible so far lying seems to be working for this man because the cops seem to be buying his story the cops still can't locate the person he's talking about so they try to see if another member of the friend group has more information do you have his pents pH brand do they have this was pass on I'm not sure I could ask him okay or even where he lives do you guys know where he lives I charge you all the time really know I know something happened with like the the do you have this phone number yes sir so how is but you don't have a pH number wa he's Opera and how do you not have a pH number you guys have number right I have nothing we do with this his friend knows the truth but he decides to distance himself from what happened probably because he realizes how serious the situation is I was my car I I I charge you all the time okay listen I'm trying to figure out what is going on because what you tell if he is making bombats to a place yeah b b bomb no he said bomb like explosion bomb okay if he's making those threats and you guys have information that we need you guys can be help held liable to if he actually comes back later and he blows this place up yeah we're we're 100% sure you he does not have a bomb the cops moved the investigation inside the Wawa that received the threatening call about the bomb here the cops received new information from the friend who was in the car earlier stay here I don't know what my friend if you guys were you were there when you made the phone call you were there it was it was him I'm serry SI it's him so it was him it was him the kid that was just talking yes okay hey James it's the I charge her all the time I wanted nothing to do with this he goes he goes we're in the car he goes hey guys oh you want see like funny and then he eat it out he said he didn't say bomb he said bomb but still still I just want to let you because he's being where is he at he's in my car all right this is this I'm so sorry you had to deal with no no no he's he's not in a red Jeep it's it's the kid that I was just talk the cops finally learn who the real perpetrator is clearly his friend is already fed up with this nonsense so he might as well tell the truth which is the right thing to do you're not under arrest you're just being detained yeah yeah you're just being detained right now okay I'll just tell you my friend's a idiot he Liv in Tampa and he basically thought it would be funny to say oh we have a bomb not a a b uh we're outside you red Jeep is that in inside of St no he he called our friend was at red Jeep and said that yeah we're just saying called yes he called The W we're like dude what the ran because he's not trying to like he's not trying to get shot the plot thickens as the perpetrator's friends now tell the true story given that this friend withheld the truth earlier the cops clearly still have doubts whether or not he's telling the truth this time I'm so sorry about it was him yeah I I didn't know what he told you when I got out of the carom yeah he just did it as a joke to mess with our friend because we literally he lives here our friend that he lives here in Stewart yeah so like to him what what did he tell you he said it was like it was the the friend the kid the kid of the it's ridiculous literally introducing our friend to because he lives in C police continue their investigation by gathering witness testimonies they talked to the employee who received the prank call to confirm if the call was real oh he F in in a country act it was probably fake and he was like sounds fake well yeah sound fake or what what he was saying sound B okay he was like I'm in a red car a red he was like I'm in a red thing with two doors and I got a bom and I'm like do you have a what a b did it sound like a or a I feel you know okay he said B the cops need to get the full story by getting a statement from all the people involved after talking to the employee they were able to talk to the guy who was in the red Jeep as he is who the suspect was pretending to be when he made the phone call Rel your friend and then um I I just got in the car and then my other friends say like should probably mean she just called a b like I don't want a CH C to show up and you know me being in the car just got so I I just I just go down to the I I just like go down to like Culver and I called him and then um and then then my friend the passenger he's the one I called he said that um he said that you was in the cards they just made him go in and apologize with like go out did you already get your name now that the suspect has been detained he starts to make up stories on the fly all right so this yeah you can canel um so did you lie and say it was your friend that called be honest with you I'm going to be honest sir yes I do okay why because I really didn't know what was going to happen so I it was me okay do do you understand I understood that the second I walked into go apologize that bong sounded like bong and I okay do you understand how serious this this could have been why why make such a fun call what's the humor out of scaring a whole bunch of people and potentially shutting down a business we got to the bottom until we got to the bottom of this what was the point of that Sor there was no humor I just I didn't want to you know beat cool what that by saying that there was a bom Jeep but I understood the second my friend said who dude you can't say that that it sounded like I said bomb and I ran in there to go apologize his reason for making the call may be his real reason but that doesn't mean that it wasn't stupid did you did you make that phone call what exactly did you say I said do you want me to do my I won't do the accent I'm just say I said it flat I said there is a red Jeep out here and he has a the bong in his car so that's exactly what you said sir he said he use an accent what kind of accent did you use country a country accent like a Southern accent okay his story seems to match that of the employee because they both said that he used a country accent while he may be able to get away with the bomb threat because he didn't really say bomb he is still going to jail for a different reason don't why I asking what's going to happen to him uh well Ian Ian is going going to jail uh not for the whole bomb T thing is because he lied to me whenever he gave me his name he lied about his name yes what did he say his name Michael D Michael why did you give me a fake name because I know when I said that it was in a ready car you guys were going to go after um my my buddy and I didn't want I really just CRA I really so you gave me a fake name because I think you got all your information okay you do realize if you didn't give me a fake name we probably wouldn't be in this whole situation right now because I'm you're going to DJJ which is a jail for juveniles forg me a false name okay all right so that that that's where we're at right now all right what is as of right now no we're past that Ian was booked for providing false credentials luckily for him providing false credentials carries a less harsh penalty than calling in a bomb hoax on December 2nd 2022 Monroe County Sheriff deputies responded to a residence in toma Wisconsin to seek a male and female with outstanding warrants when they attempted to contact the female at the residence she initially refused to come out to get the deputies to leave she made the stupid decision to contact 911 to claim an incident at Walmart yeah I can see her moving around in here 77 giv her a couple commands to come out she's verbally talking with us but has yet to exit the building she's on the phone I like she was May Justin's gone bomb SC the cops saw the woman pacing around inside upon asking the woman if her boyfriend was home she said he was in Minnesota shortly afterwards dispatch received a phone call from a woman claiming her daughter had seen a man with a gun entering the local Walmart 911 what's the location of your emergency um I just got a call from my daughter she's like a Walmart and tell them she said there someone in there with a gun okay and what's he doing with the gun she doesn't know she PR the B lock the door did she get a description of him um he said he a white guy short blonde hair black pant okay and how did she know how did she see that I don't know I don't know she just called me okay hold on hold on one second okay how did you describe them she said he was short and white she said blonde hair glasses and black pants can you get the information from the daughter and find out if deputies decide to make another effort to persuade the woman to open the door before they forcefully enter K open the door so I can talk to you okay I don't want to break your Grandma's door okay but I will okay hold on Tiffany who is this hi what are you doing it's cop what are you I'm here talking with with her come on in don't the door open all right what are you doing well she's got to come with us we got some questions for her what do I have a fell anymore oh I didn't go sign my bond correct but you also have a Jefferson County body only which is what we're paying right now okay that's body only it doesn't have a body body for child's support but if she if I pay $1,000 to child support I have the email I'll show it to you the woman Kaylee Williams Sher had a felony warrant issued by ow County and Jefferson County had issued a body only child support warrant her boyfriend Justin garbett had probation and parole warrants from both Minnesota and the enoka County Sheriff's Office send it to me is your the card connected to Apple pay is it connected to cash app actually connect it to Facebook no house okay okay okay just just give me the card number and I'll call and pay it myself Grandma's right here I'm sorry I've been trying to handle this [ __ ] I forgot about my War my bond completely I just talked to my lawyer this morning I didn't know Justin had a warrant okay we didn't even know it looks like the warrant was just issued so while interacting with Kaye dispatch informed the officers that the number from which The hoax call was made was linked to her dispatch called the number and the officer observed Kaye quickly decline a call at that moment did you call 911 a few minutes ago I might have been on accident not on purpose okay do you have a daughter uh yeah my daughter lives hours away though okay and she at Walmart my daughter's in my daughters who called you and told you I was here okay but why did you call 911 in report I didn't say if I did it was not on purpose I you've seen me on the phone in here calling people I didn't see you on the phone I was standing outside oh no I was trying to get a hold of her I was calling a million different people so why did our Dispatch Center received a 911 call stating that she received a phone call from her daughter who was at Tomo Walmart and said that there was a man that walked into the Walmart with a gun I have no idea what I have no idea that's no Get Ridiculous no no no no no okay you can say no no no no all you want but that number that keeps popping up on your phone is my dispatcher calling you wondering who the number was yeah that's the number that called because you called from this number Kaye realizes she's not getting out of this easily and starts to spin a story which she hopes will avoid arrest and additional criminal charges so listen to me for a second no no put the phone down I want you to listen and pay attention Okay okay while we were here you were inside refusing to come out yes okay you allegedly making phone calls okay why why did you call 911 and report that somebody was at Walmart with a gun well I was told that but I was in a hurry I I didn't even do it I to be honest with you I've had about five minutes of a blackout since you guys have been here and remember nothing okay so back up let's back up to when we when we knocked on the door and made contact with you you know the police were here and we were going to come in to arrest you y I was on the phone with Justin why you call 911 and report that your daughter called you to report that there was a man at the Tomo Walmart with a gun ibly because I was panicking okay now the situation has changed since Kaylee is basically admitted to making the phone call about the Walmart gunman okay do you know that that's a crime and that's called swatting no I did not know yeah that's something that to elicit a large police response to a location I assume you probably did that believing that we were going to take off no be honest with you I have a lot of I'm not in my right mind okay I'm just freaking out I my grandma can't be here by your I didn't know what to do and then I you didn't know what to do so you thought you'd call 911 and make a false report I didn't know what to do I called 911 and I was going to say something and then I was talking to my daughter on the house phone and she starts screaming at me where's the house phone in my room well it was in my room it's in the living room now there's one right here too okay does that show the recent calls no doesn't do anything that phone sucks it's obvious Kaye is under pressure and does not know how to handle the situation my Grandma will go to call and it won't go out it works when it wants to and I'm not lying to you you can go ask my grandma she'll tell you it works when it wants to I'm not worried about the the phone working I'm more concerned the fact I'm sorry I don't even know I'm more concerned with the fact that you called 911 to report that somebody was at Walmart with a gun okay that elicits one a large amount of resources to respond to a place two it's a false police report okay yes you're inciting Panic yes okay and three it's a crime I'm sorry I didn't I don't even remember doing it I don't even remember [ __ ] I'm sorry I I wish I could tell you I remember doing it and I don't so you don't remember dialing 911 and then talking to a disc I have it on my call log okay it was not even in a full minute okay that was a pretty short conversation according to my dispatch and then my aunt called me Kaylee makes the mistake of showing the officer her call log and he can see she had just called her boyfriend Justin this is my boyfriend is that Justin yeah okay so 1:25 you talk for 4 minutes yep okay so go back and then at 1:30 so 5 minutes later full 5 minutes as I got off the phone soon as you got off the phone you made a one minute phone call to him to 911 w she was talking to the cops she seemed to be very uncomfortable and occasionally looked out the window at the small shed just in the garage no's not here positive I'm positive give us permission to check the property check the garage he's not here yeah I was watching that call on the way over too that back shed doesn't open can you follow me outside so I can talk that short at least no we're going to sit right here until they get back in inside 10 for just so you're aware we are at the garden shed in the back and it is locked lock from the inside aside from noticing that the shed was locked from the inside they also saw a power cable running to it those are possible indications that someone lives there he's in that back shut no we haven't been able to get in that back shot for years my kids used to play back there why it locked on the inside I don't know I had Austin Jones was living in that sh last I knew is there anyone in there now no nobody's been in there I kicked Austin when he robbed my neighbor's house they left a whole trail of [ __ ] why is it locked I don't know I I don't go back there I haven't been back there since I kicked Austin out I don't know I have not been back there Justin and I were in an argument this morning and when I was in the garage when he said his dad picked him up and he left he text me he said he was with his dad I can show you the message I haven't been back to that back shot I don't go back there by the way Kaylee is talking it seems like she wants to trick the officers into thinking that there's no point searching the shed there's a light on in there too it's like a little Lantern so I don't know that he's here she made several phone calls to him while we were in there or while she was in there waiting on us I would lead me to believe that he's in Minnesota yeah not here but this door's locked from the one side a bed in there and [ __ ] some Sheriff's Office whoever's in the shed come out now or we're coming in who lives in this back shed Austin Jones was the last one back there Austin Jones is he currently back there right now cuz the door's locked from the inside I have no idea if he's back there now he was supposed to come got a shed back here that's locked from the inside and property owner gave us permission to clear all the buildings all right we're going to make entry in this back garage with permission from the property owner as the officers verbalize their intention to force open the shed it seems like Kaye is growing more anxious by the minute hey Austin kuster and he's got a warrant that's who Austin Jones is his Alias Austin you in there who are you turn around turn around look at that turn around on your knees now get on your knees hands on top of your head and lock your fingers is there anybody else in there no Justin unceremoniously surrenders and is taken into custody kayle's reaction to them finding Justin is interesting to say the least Justin Li to me Justin anybody else in here with you he told me he left is that true did she know you were here God why people lie to me all the time man although it might be understandable that Justin wanted to attend his mother's funeral before he turned himself in it is still not good to evade the cops by any means they lead him past the house where Kaye is still acting surprised youing back there bro or he just crashes Kaye Kaye stop stop you know I didn't figure out where that ant is coming from and and detain her I'm being told by my sergeant we're just going to go all right I can't hear you okay she knew you were here and didn't leave she just covered for you I understand so right now I'm just if you put your phone on the table I'm might be standing up okay walk over to me face the window and then have your hands behind your back can I put sweater on we'll just go like that and I'll bring a sweater can I just hit you hit that button go ahead and hit whatever you want to hit Grandma I have to go Grandma Kaye was charged with three felony counts of bail jumping and false reporting of an emergency misdemeanor
