Police Raid Draws Complaint

A pair of recent HoCo police raids in search of a department gun, ammunition and other items stolen from two marked police cruisers apparently failed to turn up the missing gear. Instead, the tactical squad allegedly left the homeowner with a sprained wrist, a dead dog, a bullet hole in his bed and a 12-year-old daughter who is scared every time she hears a knock on the door, according to this HoCo Times story.

Police claimed the dog, an Australian cattle dog, charged officers.

The Elkridge homeowner told the Times he has filed a complaint.
