A fake emergency call to police resulted in officers responding Friday night to the home of Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows just a day after she disqualified former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause.
She is the latest politician to become a target of swatting, which involves making a phone call to emergency services with the intent that a large first responder presence, including SWAT teams, will show up at a residence.
