Gamer’s Home Raided By Police
Posted in: Today's Chili
What started out as an ordinary day of gaming for Jordan Mathewson, who goes by the handle ‘Kootra’ when gaming online, turned out rather unexpectedly as his office which was located near Denver, happened to see some guests barge in unexpectedly. These guests were armed police, and to make matters more embarrassing, the entire incident was broadcast live online.
Jordan Mathewson was enjoying himself in a round of Counter-Strike, playing the Kootra persona, when several officers barged into his office and arrested him. Mathewson was released later on without being charged, or so we learned from ABC News. Apparently, this particular mix up came about as a hoax – at least according to the police officers who are now working hard to trace the alleged hoax call that targeted Mathewson, leading to such rough arm tactics in the first place.
The Littleton Police Department shared, “The caller claimed to have shot two co-workers, held others hostage, and threatened to shoot them. He stated that if the officers entered he would shoot them as well. There were no victims or any evidence that a shooting had taken place. If the investigation determines that today’s incident was a hoax, those involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
