A 17-year-old from Butler County is in trouble with the law after pretending to be suicidal while playing an online video game.
The teen was arrested for inducing panic after officers and medics responded to the boy’s home in Fairfield Township.
According to police, the teen was having an online conversation with a representative of an online video game company when he typed that he was suicidal and that the game is the only thing he has to live for.
The other player called 911. The teen told police that he was joking.
