19 year old Brandon Wilson from Nevada was arrested on Thursday in connection with a SWATting attack on another individual. Wilson, who often went by the online name of "Famed God," is awaiting extradition to Illinois for his involvement in a SWATting attack.
Back in July 2014, Wilson reportedly said that a murder took place in a Naperville, IL residence. This naturally caused the authorities to respond to the false claim. Wilson is also said to have threatened his victim's banking accounts and Social Security account. He threatened to put the victim's father "in debt for life." A search warrant issued in Las Vegas led authorities to discover Wilson's involvement in this particular SWATting incident and other attacks around the United States.
Wilson faces up to five years in prison if found guilty of two counts of computer tampering, one count of intimidation, one count of computer fraud, one count of identity theft, and a count of disorderly conduct. Additional charges may come pending investigations from federal authorities.

They and the Lizard jackoffs got into an online slap fight a couple of months back and around when PSN and Xbox Live kept getting taken down.
