"California Teen Arrested for Nationwide Swatting Spree Targeting FBI Agents and Mosque"

A 17-year-old from California, Alan Winston Filion, has been arrested and charged as an adult for orchestrating hundreds of swatting incidents across the country, including targeting schools, FBI agents' homes, and a Florida mosque. He allegedly made false reports that triggered law enforcement responses and even targeted his own home. Filion is accused of using technology to disguise his voice and location, and has an affinity for "The Lord of the Rings" and has made antisemitic comments online. Swatting is considered a dangerous and senseless crime that puts innocent lives at risk and drains valuable resources.
