Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said his home in Naples, Florida, was targeted on Wednesday night with a bogus police call in a form of potentially deadly harassment known as “swatting.”
“Last night, while at dinner with my wife, cowards ’swatted' my home in Naples. These criminals wasted the time & resources of our law enforcement in a sick attempt to terrorize my family. Ann & I want to thank @NaplesPolice & @CollierSheriff for all they do to keep us safe,” the Republican senator said in a post on the X social media platform (formerly Twitter) on Thursday.
