STOCKTON (CBS13) — The San Jose Police Department stormed into a Stockton home searching for an accused killer, but they left without him, and left behind a complete mess.
“I feel like a war was taken on here, and we lost,” homeowner Joann Rice told CBS13.
Almost all of the windows are smashed in, there are holes in the wall, and there’s a layer of tear gas in the air so thick breathing it in makes you cough.
That is the home Rice came back to after the San Jose police held a fruitless 12-hour search on Saturday for Steve Ruiz, the man accused of killing a Hells Angels member at a funeral.
“He wasn’t here, he was never here and he wasn’t in the house,” she said.
Rice said her daughter was an acquaintance of Ruiz, nothing more.
“When she opened the house at 7 in the morning she asked them to come in, all they kept saying is, ‘Are you in danger? Are you in danger for your life?’ She kept saying, ‘No, my kids are in here, you can come in here if you like,’” Rice said.
Rice says police didn’t listen. They grabbed her daughter and threw her in a police car for four hours and then into a jail cell.
While police shot tear gas into the home, a mother dog and her three puppies were still inside the house.
“They told her if there was anything left in that house, it’s dead,” she said. “We were hysterical and thought the puppies were dead, the other dog was dead.”
The dogs, fortunately, are in good condition. The house isn’t.
CBS13 made several calls to the San Jose Police Department, but didn’t get a call back.
“We want it fixed,” Rice said. “Of course I’m calling my insurance, but San Jose has to pay for this, there is no reason why they shouldn’t.”
Rice said the family doesn’t know if they’ll ever be able to live in the house again.
Very simple , Scooter Libby.
Lying to a police officer is a crime. Them lying to you to get a confession is 100% legal and considered standard procedure.
I saw the story of the 15 year old teen who they held for 24 hours ( after taken into protective custody from parents) and told every lie in the book to get him to sign a confession to murder. He was lucky though, they video-taped it and the defense showed the tapes to the jury.
You are right, one just jumped on me.
I actually look forward to that. I'm retired now, and always wanted to see the inside of a police station...
I can't understand why I've never been stopped. Rank discrimination!!
Ka-ching!!
Yeah, before the “oath”, they call it “false statements”. Same penalty - ask Martha Stewart.
luck of the draw, or you go outta yer way to snap yer heels to every commandment from yer betters ???

"...that NFH that really worries me, he is a loose cannon:)..."
"...the only reason im nice to him is because i fear that he'll hunt me down in my sleep..."
"...I believe he may be one of those soviet plants from the 70s..."
In response, my dear FRiends, all I can say is:
"Да, моя пушка свободно, потому что я не ношу нижнее белье, пьют много водки, и спать с большой грудью женщин Беларуси."
BWAHAHAHAHAHA....i am afraid to attempt to translate that, might be a mind melt message...
"Yes, my cannon IS loose because I don't wear underwear, drink much vodka, and sleep with large-breasted Belorussian women.
So, I drink the Wodka....Papa, he was, eh, how you say, a practical joker...Wodka was from CHERNOBYL...

Agreed; it’s a shame she made that mistake; hopefully it’s one she will never have the opportunity to repeat.
