A man was apprehended for accusations that he placed over 1,100 telephone calls to 911, and asking an officer if he would like to buy egg rolls.
In a period spanning from the middle of July through September 2, 911 Emergency reportedly received a massive amount of calls that were asserted to have come from a single caller in Memphis.
It was reported that over 200 calls had been picked up on September 1, and more than 30 the following day, bringing the total to 1,171 in two-and-a-half months.
During a two day period, a man from Michigan was accused of placing a number of phone calls to CNN headquarters and threatening to shoot the employees for reporting what he believes is fake news.
Between January 9 and 10 CNN headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, reportedly received 22 phone calls, four of which containing threats against their station employees. The caller, later identified as 22-year-old Brandon Griesemer from Novi, Michigan, allegedly spoke of bringing firearms to the building and shooting staff members due to his belief that they are a source of fake news distribution. He also made derogatory comments against black and Jewish people.
One of the investigators employed by CNN traced the phone number of the calls and discovered that it belonged to Griesemer’s father. While recording a call that was placed to the number the investigator spoke with a man who said his name was Brandon. When the calls making threats to the station were compared to the recorded call by the investigator it was determined that the voice sounded very similar.
