An Alabama police officer is now on desk duty after allegedly making at least six calls to police department in a different jurisdiction while on duty, falsely claiming to have witnessed an array of violent crime.

If true, why did Christopher Eugene Sanspree Jr., 23, of the Montgomery Police Department do it? Prattville Police Chief Mark Thompson said the motive remained unclear, but claimed that the defendant said “he thought it was funny,” according to Montgomery NBC affiliate WSFA.

“Prattville Police Department Investigators determined that Sanspree made several phone calls to Autauga County E911 to falsely report incidents, also known as ‘swatting,”” Prattville officers wrote in an online statement on Thursday. “These falsely reported incidents were serious in nature and required a substantial amount of resources to respond to each call as well as a considerable amount of investigative resources to be expended.”
