U.S. Marshals Draw Guns on Bradenton Mother, Baby After Knocking on Wrong Apartment [FL]
WFLA ^ | Oct 27, 2021 | Jeff Patterson

A young Bradenton mother says she was in fear when she looked at her Ring App and saw armed men at her door.

Kada Staples says the men had their weapons pointed at her door and when she said hello, they ordered her to come out and said “we know he’s in there”.

The armed men were U.S. Marshals. Staples believes they were looking for a murder suspect, but they had the wrong apartment. At the time she opened her door and still didn’t understand what was going on.

Florida elementary school principal arrested after driving BMW at neighbor, flipping them off, deputies say “I cracked the door open and they pushed the door open and pushed me and my baby out of the way. They are holding us at gunpoint, screaming, there is a gun about a foot away from her face, ” said Staples as she held her three-month-old baby.

She said the U.S. Marshals kept saying,” We know Jamar is in there.”

“With that, they run in my apartment. There’s probably 6 or 7 of them out there with guns. 3 or 4 of them run into my apartment and are running around. They are still yelling at me that I’m lying,” said Staples.

She says she had been napping with her infant and was the only one inside when the Marshals soon realized their mistake.

“Then one of the guys in the hallway is like, wait, this is apartment and then said my apartment number and then kind of repeated it again and then they ran out and said, that’s the wrong apartment,” said Staples.

Don’t change your voicemail: Ignore that viral Facebook post and do this instead She says the Marshals left, but never even apologized for their actions or their mistake.

“No sorry, no nothing, they tell me, you’re good and another one said you’re fine,” said Staples.

She says when she called the U.S. Marshals Service to ask why officers had entered her apartment, she asked if they could provide a mental health counselor to help her deal with the anxiety brought on by the event.

She says a man on the phone told her to take melatonin and “get over it.”

8 On Your Side has called and emailed the U.S. Marshals service to find out why officers were at the wrong apartment and to find out if the officers involved will face any discipline. The U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Department of Justice have not responded.

Nope, I was an auditor, not a manager.

A county sheriff or local police officer should have been included in the planning of the raid as well as on the scene. They would know the area and addresses better than out of towners.

The DCAA’s records/archives suck big time. Try finding older contract/case files. More holes in their collection than a block of Swiss cheese hit by a 105mm Flechette artillery shell.

Don’t worry lady. They did nothing wrong. The “thin blue line” will explain that to you, as will the courts, and politicians. The police never do anything wrong.

Just another example of the countless reasons to never ever trust a cop. Ever.

“A county sheriff or local police officer should have been included in the planning of the raid…”

The Feds almost never lower themselves to talking with the locals.

That’s why your County Sheriff simply must notify every single Federal law enforcement agency in writing of his order. And then back it up with jail cells.

FDIC= Federal Depositors Insurance Corporation. They deal with BANKS and FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.

FDA= Food and Drug Administration. Name is pretty much self explanatory.

It could be a typo on the warrant...

There is a fat assed, overpaid clerk at the courthouse who’s mad because typing up the warrant took time away from her surfing Facebook, tik tok, Amazon, and Poshmark.

Lesson: do not answer your door to anyone you are not expecting, especially the police. Don’t acknowledge them or that you are there.

If it’s the police and they have a warrant, let them knock the door down.

No. Do not acknowledge them at all. Pretend you are not home.

But do call 911. Say men with guns and drugs and it looks like they have a hostage.
