Loud Bang This AM From Behind My home. 12/14/22

Posted in: Madison Park

I was going to mulch my leaves, but had a battery issue with my mower.  I put it on a charger and went to work on patio area.  All of a sudden a huge explosion/bang.  I run to barn thinking the battery must of blew up.  NOTHING.  

 

I then go out on Londonderry and walk my block expecting to see neighbors out.   None.  About 90 minutes later a friend calls and says the first block of Seacroft South of Tyvola is closed and swat is at a house in first block of Seacroft.   

 

Another neighbor just emailed to say it was a raid and FBI and SWAT were at house.  

 

Rental location.    My friend said police said you will know what happened soon enough?

 

It was so loud I almost called 911 to report the bang.

 

The location has a lot of expensive cars that are loud and they race through the neighborhood aggravating many people.  Sometimes late at night.  

 

Also did have dogs that regularly got out.   (dogs though were not mean)!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A man is facing federal charges for making hoax calls to police departments and schools across the country.

20-year-old James Thomas Andrew McCarty was arrested in Charlotte on Wednesday.

He is facing nine counts of making a false statement, nine counts of false information and hoax, one count of stalking, and six counts of aggravated identity theft.

McCarty made several fake violent threats to police and schools between January and June of 2021.

 

McCarty is federal charges for making calls out of Arizona to police departments and schools in Georgia, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Indiana and Ohio.

 

In one instance, he told police in New Jersey that he killed one person, hurt another, and would blow up a house.

In another call, he told a school in Indiana that he was a student and that he was about to start shooting with guns, including shooting at propane bottles.

He also called police in Ohio claiming he had four bombs outside of a retail store.

“Imagine the number of man hours that were wasted and the calls that didn’t get answered within those communities in a timely manner, when law enforcement were responding to these,” De la Guerra said.
