GTA 5 Michael actor calls out his swatter as he’s sentenced to 4 years in prison

Ned Luke, the voice actor best known for his role as Michael De Santa in Grand Theft Auto 5, issued a message to his swatter after the offender was sentenced to prison.

Ned Luke has turned his GTA 5 fame into a lucrative side hustle, often playing Rockstar titles, including GTA 5, on stream.

The voice actor has been swatted several times, with armed police showing up his door, such as one incident on Thanksgiving 2023.

‘Swatting’ refers to the act of someone filing a false report with law enforcement, claiming there is some type of emergency at a streamer’s address. The goal is to elicit a police response from the SWAT team to see the incident unfold on their target’s live broadcast.

Luke was spending an afternoon playing the GTA 5 with his community when he received a phone call. Shortly afterward, he announced that he had to end the stream, saying he had been swatted.

The person responsible was eventually caught, and on June 2, 2026, Nuke issued a bold response to his tormentor.

In a post on X, Luke responded to news that the person who swatted him at been sentenced to four years behind bars.

“Won’t be swatting anyone anytime soon… and they’re coming for the ones he ratted out, as well,” he said, in a very Michael De Santa style.

According to Nuke, more swatters will getting charged down the line, hinting that the individual had given up names of other people involved, too.

Swatting has been a major issue for streamers for many years, as the prank can prove to be deadly, since police often expect to be walking into a crime scene where someone may be armed.

In May, an 81-year-old grandma who streams Minecraft made headlines when she and her grandson were the victims of a swatting that took place during a late-night broadcast.

Meanwhile, the FBI has promised to crack down on swattings, calling it a “dangerous trend.”
