CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. -- Fernando Luna is accused of falsely reporting an incident after state police say he made a hoax emergency call to retaliate against another online gamer from Victor he didn't like.

"The intended target for this swatting said he had been cyber-bullied online," said State Police Investigator Mark Eifert.

State police responded to with multiple troopers, K-9 and a swat team. In all, 911 received four hoax emergency calls to that Victor home.

"Certainly they go there with the mindset that it is an actual call and then hopefully it is not," said Trooper Mark O'Donnell, NYSP Troop E Public Information Officer. "First responders respond to that every minute of the day, every day of the year."

It took state police more than a year and a half to track down Luna, who was known online as the gamer "Sarcastic".

"You will see that almost every single swatting incident has to do with online gaming and on the internet and they have an argument and get swatted," Eifert said said.

Luna has since admitted to police that he made one of those four false calls.

Ontario County district attorney Mike Tantillo says these phony calls are not only terrifying to innocent residents, but are a costly crime. 

"Obviously the area is flooded with law enforcement officers, the area is quartered off, they have swat teams there, Tantillo said. "There are innocent people who do not know they are the subject of the complaint so there is a real potential of something very negative happening and fortunately that wasn't the result here."

Luna turned himself in to Canandaigua police. He was arraigned and is expected back in Victor town court next month. If convicted he faces up to one year in jail.

State police say they believe other people were involved, but have yet to identify any other suspects.

U.S. Senator, Charles Schumer has introduced legislation to deter swatting. Schumer says the legislation has support from both Democrats and Republicans. He says passage of the bill would show would-be swatters that it's a serious crime. 

"First, up to eight years in prison and [it] will be a felony," he said. "And that will set loose the FBI to go after these people in a more significant way because when it's a serious crime they spend more resources doing it. Second, you have to pay back all the costs."

Schumer says he hopes the legislation will be passed and signed in to law by summer's end.
