SWAT deliberately changed the address of a raid to the wrong house, leaving a family held at gunpoint for over an hour, including a breast-feeding mother and child, who happens to be married to a police officer, according to a lawsuit.
Fontana, CA — The Fontana and Anaheim police departments have been named as defendants in a lawsuit after falsifying documents leading to a raid of an innocent family, that “shocked the conscience.”
The incident began in March of 2014 after a repair store had reported a missing laptop to police. Security video from the location of the theft showed a new car, with no license plates, driving away from the scene.
The laptop was equipped with gps tracking and the I-Crack Repair store had received a “ping” from someone bringing the laptop online.
On March 9, I-Crack Repair reported the location of the ping to authorities. Police were given the address of 543 Eveningsong Lane in the suburbs of Anaheim Hills. The I-Crack representative also gave the police a screenshot of the address indicated by the “ping.”
In response to the missing laptop, Anaheim police began a stakeout of the residence at 543 Eveningsong Lane. No activity was observed at 543 Eveningsong, however, Dan Nunley was in his driveway at 539 Eveningsong; he was also putting a license plate on his new car.
Oddly enough, the representative from I-Crack Repair was on location during the stakeout and informed police that Dan Nunley was not the man in the surveillance footage, nor was it his house which sent the “ping.” The placing of the license plate on his car was simply a coincidence.
According to the lawsuit, the fact that this was not the right house, nor the right person, did not stop the police from altering the address on the search warrant to 539 Eveningsong.
