How much are you willing to pay for a hoax?
In addition to endangering much of Northeast Wisconsin earlier this week, law enforcement experts say two back-to-back swatting calls likely cost residents thousands in wasted taxpayer dollars.
Police say swatting is when someone makes a fake 911 call, intended to get a large response from law enforcement.
That's what happened in Oshkosh on Monday when multiple agencies responded to a call from someone who said they'd shot their girlfriend and had another person at gunpoint.
The call turned out to be a prank.
The following day, another swatting call came into Calumet County.
This time, the caller reported he'd been stabbed in the chest and had shot his wife to death in the village of Harrison.
Again, multiple law enforcement agencies showed up before it was determined to be a false emergency.
Packers running back Josh Jacobs is scheduled for a status conference in Brown County on September 4th, as efforts are underway to seal video evidence for good.
Civic media's James Kelly has the story.
The video of the Josh Jacobs incident may never be released as lawyers ask to seal it permanently.
In a statement Monday, attorneys for the Packer running backs' ex-girlfriend cited privacy concerns for wanting to keep it from the public.
Jacobs last week took responsibility in the criminal case.
He pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors and got a $1,000 fine.
He faces a deferred sentence on another charge if he meets conditions over the next year.
A Brown County judge had ordered the evidence temporarily sealed.
Jacob stays on the NFL's cannot playlist during the investigation.

Pilots who spot possible violations will alert troopers on the ground who can make traffic stops.
State Patrol says the goal is to encourage safer driving, not simply to hand out tickets.
A 40 to 50 cent gas hike overnight is sparking both candidates in the Race for Wisconsin Governor to call for a repeal of the minimum markup law, also known as the Unfair Sales Act.
The law prevents businesses, including gas stations, from selling merchandise below cost.
While campaigning in Green Bay yesterday, Secretary of State Sarah Godluschi said repealing the minimum markup law could drop gas prices by as much as 50 cents a gallon.
Godluschi is running as a Democrat for Lieutenant Governor and said David Crowley also supports repealing the law.
Republican candidate Tom Tiffany also released a statement promising to repeal the law if elected governor.
State law says prices can only be adjusted once in a 24-hour period.

53-year-old Beth Holts is accused of intentionally depriving a dying hospice patient of oxygen.
The incident happened in August of last year, with Holts reportedly telling a fellow staffer that she hoped the patient would die before the end of her shift because reporting his passing would be easier than writing up a fall that he had experienced earlier.
Holts was taken into custody yesterday on a charge of intentionally abusing a patient, causing great bodily harm.
