(La Porte County, IN) - A local state lawmaker is among the latest members of the Indiana Legislature to report being victim of  “swatting.”

Republican State Senator Mike Bohacek revealed today he received threats of a bomb placed at his home in Michiana Shores on Friday.  He said a quick response was given to the threat by multiple law enforcement agencies.

"This recent pattern of threatening behavior and intimidation attempts are not only concerning, but also illegal. I hope to see justice for this type of behavior,” he said.

At least 10 Indiana republican lawmakers have reported being victims of swatting, which are prank calls designed to trigger a large response from law enforcement.

Authorities suspect the calls have something to do with President Trump putting pressure on Indiana republicans to redraw the state’s congressional maps to make it easier for republicans to win House seats now held by democrats.

Bohacek, who has come out against redistricting, said he will not provide any additional information at this time since the investigation is ongoing.
