ST. LOUIS – Another Republican state official gets ‘swatted.’ That’s a criminal prank where someone calls 911, faking an emergency to bring a large number of officers to a particular address.

Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft says his home was swatted around 10:00 p.m. Sunday. In a post on X, more commonly referred to as Twitter, he says:

“My home was just swatted. My family and I are safe. I am grateful to Jefferson City Law Enforcement for the professionalism with which they handled the situation.”
