According to Mt. Vernon Police Chief Trent Page, 43-year-old Damien Reed was arrested on four counts of making a false report of an offense.
Chief Page says Reed told the 9-1-1 dispatcher over four separate calls that there were bodies in the home, that he had killed those people, that he would kill anyone responding to the residence, and that he would kill police officers.
When it became clear the reports were false, Reed was taken into custody and transported to the Jefferson County Jail.
He was formally charged in Jefferson County Court Wednesday with Class 4 felony making a false complaint with 9-1-1. Bond in the case remains to be set.
