Bounty hunter arrested for break in (Reverse Wrong-House)
KOB-TV (Albuquerque, NM) ^ | 1/26/06 | Reed Upton

An Albuquerque based bounty hunter was arrested Wednesday night for breaking into the wrong house – a house that belongs to an Albuquerque police officer.

Police say that on January 14th, 37-year-old RobertTurner was looking for someone who hadn’t lived at the particular house for 25 years when he broke into a home. There were two kids in the home at the time.

“It’s not only reckless but it’s frightening, if you think about somebody giving your address and somebody entering your home,” said APD spokesman John Walsh. “In this particular case we had two teens, 11 and 15 years old, at home and it frightened those two kids to the point where they went to a back room.”

Turner works for Affordable Bail Bonds of Albuquerque. Police are investigating whether he represented himself as a law enforcement officer.

Turner was apprehended Wednesday evening in a car that looked like a police officer’s car. His business card says he is an “agent” and features a logo with a police badge on it.

Be careful though. Cane thrashing takes a lot of energy for little old ladies. A lot of them are just packing now :')

Its contractual between the bonding company and the person bonding. It says they can basically use whatever means necessary for recovery.

The problem, of course, comes in situations like this.

The only reason the cops didn't get blamed was because the judge screwed up the warrant and gave them one for the wrong address.

The initial report stated a police informant gave bad information. Was it later determined the judge screwed up?--

An informant said that Spruill's sixth-floor Harlem apartment was being used by an armed drug dealer to stash cocaine and heroin, police officials said.

LOL.
He wouldn't have made it in the door, or window, with all the crap (pepper spray, radios, TV cameras, earings, hair braids, belts, sun glasses, cell phones, etc.) he carries with/on him.

If he broke into my house, he would have ended up dead.

Head shot with #4 buck.

Without a warrant? I'm betting George W. Bush is behind this somehow.

Pre dates Bush.

Its either Lincoln's or Grant's fault. :-)

Are you kidding?

You'd be lucky to survive the invasion, don't go expecting anything more than your life. If that.

They would have had to arrest his body if it were my house he had broken into.

Cops break into the wrong house all the time.

I would like to see some statistics.

You know, there is nothing about police officers doing anything wrong in this story, and already this thread has degenerated into a cop-bashing thread.

The problem here appears to be that the bail bondsman represented himself as a cop. Impersonation appears to be the problem here.

I never claimed to be THE Metal God ... Just a ... lesser Metal God ... Surely the Greeks must have had gods of great stature but lower than Zeus! :)

Probably because of stuff like this.

Jury clears homeowner who took cop for intruder
