Police surrounded the Washington D.C. home of former Trump advisor Steve Bannon after a prank 911 call set off a false alarm. The call came late Friday morning to the Washington D.C. Police dispatch to report a mentally ill man carrying a weapon and making comments on shooting someone.

When police arrived at a street near Bannon’s house there was no evidence of a shooter. The alarm was lifted about an hour after the late morning call, according to the Washington Post.

“They were a little bit shocked, but obviously they understood why we were there,” voiced assistant District of Columbia Police Chief Jeffery Carroll.

Authorities blocked off several streets while investigating these claims and ultimately ruled it a false report meant to initiate the swat team. This comes as Bannon is expected to stand trial for contempt of the January 6 panel in mid July.

“The police were terrific,” Bannon said.

Local police report no reason to assume this call targeted Steve Bannon specifically.
