BUFORD, Ga. — Georgia Sen. Clint Dixon's Buford home was "swatted" on Christmas night, according to a Gwinnett County Police report.
The police report revealed the call came in as a hoax hostage situation.
When officers arrived at the home, Dixon told them that he and his wife were unaware of what was going on, according to the report.
"They stated that nobody in their household had called 911 at any point that day," the report stated.
The caller identification number was anonymous and officers were unable to trace the call, the report added.
Dixon took to social media after the incident and wrote the following statement:
It’s unfortunate how far some will stoop to target others. Thankfully my family and I are safe and we appreciate our local law enforcement. These threats will not stop me from serving the people of this great state. I plan to address this issue in our next legislative session. This isn't a right or left issue. It's an issue of public safety and those who participate in swatting should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
This comes after authorities said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's home in Georgia was also "swatted" for the eighth time overall on Christmas Day.
"Swatting" is when someone makes a false report to emergency services about a crime or other serious emergency-- under the pretense of luring authorities to that location.
