ALEXANDRIA, VA — A former leader of a Neo-Nazi organization was sentenced Tuesday in federal court to 41 months in prison for his role in a swatting scheme targeting an Alexandria location and others.
John Cameron Denton, 27, of Montgomery, Texas, the former leader of the Atomwaffen Division in Texas, participated in a swatting scheme that targeted 134 different locations in the U.S., according to prosecutors. Swatting is defined as a harassment tactic that involves calling in fake emergencies to send police and emergency services to a target's address. Prosecutors believe Denton and co-conspirators chose targets motivated by racial prejudice.

Police officers were speaking to the congregation at the Dar El-Eman Islamic Center in Arlington during a family-night event when panic swept across the gathering.
Someone had called 911 from a blocked number claiming to have a pipe bomb. The caller said he was going to kill everyone inside the mosque during the November 2018 incident. The bomb threat turned out to be a “swatting call” — a dangerous form of harassment intended to get police SWAT units to respond to a target’s location.

Federal prosecutors in Virginia are seeking a five-year prison sentence for a former neo-Nazi group leader who pleaded guilty to conspiring with other far-right extremists to threaten dozens of targets, including a predominantly African American church, a sitting U.S. Cabinet member and journalists.
John Cameron Denton, of Montgomery, Texas, and others involved in the plot made at least 134 threats to injure people and institutions, often for racist reasons, Justice Department prosecutors wrote in a court filing last Wednesday. They said Denton participated in “the most far-reaching swatting conspiracy in our nation to date,” referring to hoax calls made to fool emergency dispatchers into sending police to the addresses of unsuspecting victims.
