LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- A former beauty queen is suing the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department after she says deputies kicked down the wrong apartment door, pointed guns at her and her fiancee and watched as she got out of bed, naked.
Calenche Ranae Manos, a former Miss Nevada 2007, says in her lawsuit that the incident happened on the night of November 15, 2011.
Manos and her fiancee, Eric Otto Ryder, say deputies had a search warrant for apartment "C" but entered their unit -- clearly marked as apartment "A."
"At that time Ms. Manos was still in bed and was naked," the complaint, obtained by Courthouse News Service, states.
"The sheriff deputies, all of which were male and armed with guns, ordered Ms. Manos to get out of bed and then watched as she attempted to do so," it alleges.
The officers then spent a "significant amount of time" in the apartment before they realized their mistake, according to the complaint.
One of the officers allegedly joked that Manos would have a good story to tell at Thanksgiving.
Manos is seeking damages for negligence, false imprisonment and civil rights violations.
She is also accusing the deputies of sexual harassment.
By mistake, I think not!
Past Your Eyes, since you are so easily offended, and obviously ‘holier than everyone else’, I trust by now you have plucked out both of your own eyes, because by now they likely have often offended you.
And now those "lucky" cops are facing a lawsuit. I wonder how "lucky" they feel now.
lol !
#36 great post!!!
Apartment “C” was not nearly as nice a prospect as apartment “A” and i am sure the officers were quite aware of that.
And a cavity search too!
Later that day, the entire force met to discuss what may have gone wrong
Poor Past. You just picked on the wrong victim; thats all.
I guarantee you that if it were two fags in bed - or one of Holder’s people - or an illegal - or a muzzie - or so on....
You would not have gotten all this anger.
i hate to break it to you but i doubt one in fifty attractive women saves herself for marriage these days
when i was a lad in the 70s it was still a small minority even then who waited till marriage
the PILL killed chastity more than anything
and Roe V Wade sealed the deal
no more fear of pregnancy and if by chance you screw up it can still be “fixed”
all this hoopla about the empowerment of women and they voluntarily gave up the biggest power source they had in the pursuit of material and social “power”
the irony of it
Mission brief: OK this is for the apartment on the left, right?
And no pajamas, either.
He probably Googled her address so they could all goggle her when they got there.
The word you're groping for is MARRIAGE.
Probably a restoration surgery for that.
That was one of the most offensive apologies I've seen yet today. Should have said, "I can see how you might have thought that. My comment was a little off the topic of terrorizing police raids against private citizens."
“Its unfortunate that LEOs are insulated from personal liability for their violations.”
Not in Indiana and Texas! In those liberty-loving states it’s legal to shoot law enforcement to protect yourself from illegal and unwarranted entry. And when the cops use a warrant on the wrong property both states define that action as illegal and unwarranted.
I totally agree.
Mistake my butt.
They knew exactly what they were going.
And...can’t say that I blame them. ;~)
