Jeremy Summers, son of Catoosa County Sheriff Phil Summers.The Catoosa County, Ga., sheriff's son is back in jail after he did not appear in court as scheduled on charges he received last year in Tennessee.

But when officers from all over Hamilton County responded to the call, several with drawn rifles, they realized the 28-year-old had made a prank call and Summers was arrested.
