Washington A Texas man whom federal prosecutors say formerly served as a leader in a white supremacist group was arrested on Wednesday for harassing a member of President Donald Trump's Cabinet, journalists and a university.
John Cameron Denton, 26, of Montgomery, Texas, was arrested for allegedly making"swatting" calls targeting the individuals and the school, authorities said. Swatting is a harassment tactic in which a caller falsely reports to a dispatcher that a person is in"imminent danger of death or bodily harm," causing the dispatcher to send authorities to a person's address, prosecutors said.
