The police, including the Phoenix Police on a fairly regular basis accidentally invade the wrong home.
They never apologize for their mistakes and usually give the victims the response of "f*ck you filthy b*stards, you must be guilty of something and deserve it". Of course when a bounty hunter accidentally invades the Phoenix Police Chiefs home, like the cops do all the time to innocent people, the government makes a big deal out of it.
Mesa man pleads guilty in bounty hunters' swarm of Phoenix police chief's home Staff and wire reports 10:29 p.m. MST June 9, 2016 A man arrested in the case of an anonymous tip leading armed bounty hunters to swarm Phoenix Police Chief Joseph Yahner’s home last year has pleaded guilty. Maricopa County Superior Court officials say 29-year-old Aaron Michael Bray of Mesa changed his plea in the case Thursday and pleaded guilty to attempting to commit computer tampering. He’s scheduled to be sentenced on July 14. Police say 11 bounty hunters mistakenly targeted Yahner’s northwest Phoenix house last Aug. 4 after they were sent there by a text message to look for a suspect. Police say Bray was responsible for providing the information, and he was arrested on suspicion of computer tampering. The owner of a bond-recovery company also was arrested after the incident and charged with criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct. Police said Bray, a bounty hunter himself, purchased a "burn number" with an Oklahoma area code and used it to send a competing bounty hunter to the chief's home with a bad tip. A witness told officials that Bray said he wanted to get back at the bondsman. Two fugitive-recovery companies working in tandem surveyed Yahner's house for two hours before swarming the darkened house at about 10 p.m. One man banged on the door with an unholstered weapon and engaged in a verbal confrontation with the chief inside, police said. The bounty hunters’ vehicles were parked on the property, the headlights glaring as the man at the door shined his flashlight inside, Phoenix police said. Sgt. Trent Crump, a police spokesman, said afterward: "I know that we were lucky that we didn't have anybody shot or killed that night. I don't know that (Bray) knew what the consequences were going to be." |
