Arrest made in Guelph swatting incident
On Dec. 27, 2024, officers with the Guelph Police Service were dispatched to a home on Cole Road after they received a call from someone who said they were being held at gunpoint.
The force's tactical team approached the property with their gun drawn, only to find that the woman living there was alone.
It was then determined that the caller had been her former partner and it was all a hoax.
Guelph Police said the man, who has not been named, was arrested on May 31 in Northern Ontario and charged with public mischief.
The 33-year-old was released from custody with a promise to appear in a Guelph court on July 11.

Edmonton Police Service (EPS) said it has cancelled the amber alert for a two-year-old girl on Saturday afternoon after determining that the situation was not criminal. Around 5 p.m., an Amber Alert issued across the province said that the child had been taken by a man in the Steinhauer area. Around 5:30 p.m., Alberta Emergency Alert posted on social media and their website that the alert had been cancelled and the child had been found. EPS sent out a release later Saturday evening confirming the child was found safe at 5:32 p.m. They said that at the time, officers believed the child may have been in danger. After investigating, police said they believe the incident was non-criminal, and there are no charges pending against the man.
