North Port family left shaken after unexpected swatting incident

Zach Barrett report:

Friday was a normal day for North Port mother Sarah Courtney until she received a call from a detective at the North Port Police Department.

“I thought it was a joke at that point and I was like, who is this? Why are you calling me?” said Courtney. “Then he said, do you have a blue cooler on your front porch? That freaked me out, it made my heart go in my stomach because we do have a blue cooler on our porch.”
