LAPD were sent out in full force to an address in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday 10/03 after a caller to 911 claimed there was a hostage situation. The address was the home of a Christopher Ashton Kutcher and when the police arrived they found that it was a prank phone call. This is something new and is called "Swatting" an emerging crime. "Swatting" gets its name from SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) and it is when a full contingent of police go to what is believed to be a hostage situation. This is not the first time that LAPD has been swatted. They were recently sent out to the home of Miley Cyrus and it to was a hoax.
Kutcher was not at home and was in fact on the set of "Two and a Half Men".
