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.
I have backed an over zealous "process server/bail enforement officer" down with a shotgun once (I was cleaning it at the time). Got a bit tense, but he walked once the cops got there. It was really an honest mistake, but had he done something stupid, it would have gotten really ugly.
I would like to see the unedited version of Dog...have to wonder how many times he is chased away with his tail between his legs. His rep in the islands is very poor.
I'm with ya!

Tell them to come into my house. I've been wanting to try out my shotgun.
I'm with you! But my shotgun has been field tested. :-)
Well, what I meant was "on anything other than paper targets."
No different; just a little more to clean up!
