The Jordan Police Department responded to a false threat of gun violence at a home on Millpond Drive Dec. 16.
A call was received Dec. 15 regarding a male with suicidal intentions who threatened violence toward other individuals inside the home, Jordan Police Chief Brett Empey said.
Once police arrived at the scene, they determined the call was a spoofed report.

Empey said this was a case of âswatting,â where a caller reports a fictitious event in order to harass involved parties, including police.
âItâs a dangerous situation, and we need to respond to these calls,â Empey said.
