Cops raid wrong place, kick man in groin 6-7-07

Thu Jun 7, 8:31 PM ET

Annapolis police raided the wrong apartment Wednesday night, using flash grenades and kicking a resident in the groin before they realized their mistake, police and the family said.

Police spokesman Hal Dalton said something must have gone amiss in the briefing beforehand. "We don't know how the mistake was made," Dalton said.
Silvia Bernal, 30, told The (Annapolis) Capital that about 15 officers burst through the front door of her apartment while she was cooking dinner about 8:20 p.m. She said the officers kicked her husband in the groin while she fled into a bedroom and barred the door with her body.

Then she said both of them were taken to the ground and handcuffed. The Capital said a police officer went outside and realized they had raided the wrong residence.

Dalton said they were supposed to have raided a different apartment and said the incident was regrettable.

Spa Cove apartment manager Latisha Marshall says there is a large dent in the front door. And she said there are two large black stains from the flash-bang grenades police deployed after entering the apartment.
When officers and the city's tactical squad went to the right unit, they said it was empty.

Overall.... it is a messed up situation, but you have to admit: IT IS FUNNY AS HECK!! How often do we hear of a wrong wrong search warrant where some dude gets kicked in the balls!?

Poor planning and recon lead to these kind of mistakes. Lucky for all no one got shot. The taxpayers will pay for this, and so should the tactical commanders.

Well first ok they went to the wrong place. that can happen.

but the brutalety.. kicking a person in custedy cop's arnt suposed to do that. no matter if they had been in the right apartment or not.

And since this was in the wrong place i doubt the pep there put up an fight.

unf that link dosent work.



I have been pulled over here in Norway. a large white van was involved in a armed bankrobbery. i drove a white van att the time.
so i was stopped. faced guns and "sceard" cops. (im kinda big) so they ofc handcuffed me for their safty they said. But they did not use any force. and i ofc did excactly what they said when they said it. (i heard about the robbery on the raidio)
few min later som other cop's come. had a chat. and evryone left. exept a female cop. she tok the handcuf off and apoligised.

dont se any problem with it since they accted "nice" and used no force..

but ur story is worse since the cops apperantly used mean force. kicking a man in the groin is just mean..
