On June 12 , 2006 , for example , another swatter , Guadalupe Martinez , dial 911 using a charade poster to make it calculate as though he was calling from an Alvarado , Texas , phone number and told dispatchers that he was hold hostages and had stamp out menage members with an AK47 while eminent on hallucinogenic drugs .
But what really get him and his buddies in trouble was the fact that he show up at the family of the Verizon police detective that was gathering grounds against him and plague him . He was arrested shortly after . [ Yahoo ]
