You would think after a three month investigation that the cops would get the right house.

Police are paying for the repairs to Lewis' door.

Well, that's awfully nice of them.

Doesn't matter - no police were hurt, so everything is OK.

And I just looked at it on google maps. It is a cul de sac. Could not be more than ten homes.

Absolutely...
Not giving the cops a pass here - but - looks like all the houses on that road were newly built - I could understand a bit...mistakes were definitely made - extreme sloppiness.

Yes, you certainly would.
But, from watching these reality cop shows, with actual 'raids', it seems that once the investigation is done and they have evidence for a warrant, the actual Raid and Arrest gets turned over to a different unit.

That unit then goes over the 'arrest logistics and tactics' and is a SWAT Team, Drug Team, or some other 'Special Entry Unit' - all armed to the teeth, with ski-masks, grenades, 1,000 rounds of ammo each, etc, like they were launching a coup d'etat against a small country.

I'm just surprised they're paying for a new door. And that this 'wrong house' stuff doesn't happen more.

You'd think they'd actually find some drugs.

"Police arrested Efrain Pedruza, 31, and he was taken to the Gwinnett County Detention Center. Police said they found $24,000 in cash in the home."
