“I was just swatted,” Greene wrote on X, which used to be called Twitter, on Monday. He said it was the eighth time something like this had happened.
A police spokesman in Rome, Georgia, told Business Insider that the event did happen.
Kelly Madden, a public information officer for the department, said, “As we were getting ready to respond, we called her security detail and found out there wasn’t an emergency.” She also said, “This is not the first time this has happened.”
That’s what Madden said: the call came in through a suicide number.
In swatting, people call the police to someone else’s house to report a fake threat, usually with bad intentions, so the police will go there. Because swatting has become so common, the FBI set up a national online website in May to keep track of all of them.
People have hit Greene with swatters more than once.
Two nights in August of last year, people called the police to report a false event near Greene’s house. In one case, a caller said that someone had been “shot multiple times” in front of her house.
The Rome Police Department couldn’t say right away how many times Greene’s house had been broken into.

“They left with homemade cookies and spiced nut!” he put in. “Merry Christmas everyone!”
