911 Caller Says, 'Dunwoody Police Officers Will Die Today'

Dunwoody police officers were threatened over Memorial Day weekend by a man who said he made the threats because he'd been unable to find work.

According to the department's Facebook page, Chattcom 911 dispatchers received a call from the man who said, “Dunwoody Police officers will die today,“ and then hung up.

The only information dispatchers had were an approximate latitude and longitude based on cell towers. Dunwoody officers began searching an area around Perimeter Center West and Perimeter Center Pkwy.

Meanwhile, dispatchers continued to work on narrowing down the caller's location. The same caller again dialed 911 and made a second threat.

Police then located a man behind the FedEx store on Perimeter Center West. The subject was drinking and admitted to the officers that he placed the 911 calls and the threats. He said he did it because he’s been unable to find work and he was mad.

The man was arrested and charged with terroristic threats, misusing the 911 call system, and public intoxication.
