GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- A 33-year-old man has been charged with making multiple phony and sometimes threatening calls to the Gwinnett County Police Department 911 Center.
About 14 such calls, all made by the same person, were placed between Apr. 17 and 25. They included three fake requests for an ambulance, a bomb report, and a claim that an apartment building was on fire.
On Monday, Gwinnett County Police arrested the man they believe made the calls, Aaron Tyler Norman, of Buford.
They said it was Norman who stated, for example, in one of the calls, "I got a (expletive) gun" and, in another call, "Mother (expletive), better get over to Marquis at Sugarloaf because somebody's about to get shot."
"He threatened that he had a bomb" in at least one of the calls, said Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Deon Washington. "He threatened to blow up locations."
