A man who called police while masking the caller ID number, claimed to have killed people while on drugs and forced the deployment of the SWAT team is going to prison.
Guadalupe Martinez is getting 30 months in federal prison.
Prosecutors say he made calls to towns all over the country, including Fort Worth and Alvarado. Police inadvertently hurt two people who live in the homes they were sent to because of the "SWATTING" calls.
In all, the fake calls cost police a quarter of a million dollars.
