Ohio Police Officers Raid Wrong House, Couple Sues

November 23, 2016

An Ohio couple has sued police after officers raided their home only to say later that they had the wrong suspect.

The lawsuit says officers from the Orwell police department along with county sheriff deputies illegally raided the home two years ago and caused injury, property damage and lasting trauma.

Authorities suspected that the woman living at the house was involved in an armed robbery but later said they had the wrong person.

The Star-Beacon in Ashtabula reports the woman says she was injured in the raid and that the couple’s children remain traumatized.

A message seeking comment was left with police.
