A Lancaster teenager was behind bars in Florida Feb. 1 for allegedly phoning in a false report of a mass shooting at a Seminole County mosque, and authorities suspect he may be tied to other similar “swatting” calls across the country.

Alan Winston Filion, 17, was arrested Jan. 18 but was extradited to Florida on Tuesday, according to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.
