Extortion in an attempt to obtain the Twitter handle "@Tennessee"
Verdict
Pleaded guilty
Convictions
Sonderman Conspiracy to make false statements
Sentence
Sonderman 5 years in prison plus a $250,000 fine
On April 27, 2020, a fatal swatting incident occurred in Sumner County, Tennessee. The incident followed an extortion attempt throughout March and April 2020 in which Shane Sonderman and a group of co-conspirators attempted to obtain the Twitter handle "@Tennessee" belonging to 60-year-old Mark Herring. After an unnamed minor in the United Kingdom called local law enforcement to Herring's address, he suffered a fatal heart attack while attempting to leave his home.
Sonderman pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy as part of a plea bargain that dropped several other charges. In July 2021, Sonderman was sentenced to 5 years in federal prison and received a $250,000 fine.[1]
