STOCKTON Minn. – A Stockton woman reported an email threat that left sheriff’s investigators puzzled. The woman had received an email demand to change her Twitter handle. If she didn’t, the sender said, police would be notified that a major crime was occurring and to send a SWAT team. Investigators began trying to track the source and to figure out the significance of a Twitter handle to warrant such a threat. It all seemed highly unusual and hardly from any typical extortion playbook.
