After questioning him, the police quickly concluded that the call was a hoax and that no crime had occurred. This incident marks the fourth time Pine has been a target of swatting, a prank that involves falsely reporting an emergency to provoke a police response.
Following the false report, police attempted to contact the caller, but he was uncooperative and hung up. Authorities have since discovered that the caller does not reside in California and are now investigating him for filing a false police report. They are also looking into whether this individual is connected to the previous swatting incidents involving Pine.
