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.
Obviously a false arrest.
Did they shoot her dog?
What is she doing in bed with a man she isn’t married to? Nobody has any shame any more.
Just another one of those .00001% incidents, pal.
The one in ten million that goes wrong. According to you.
TTIWWP ( Sorry, the one posted don’t cut it.)
Bad either way, but...”ordered” or “dragged” out?
It was no mistake. They wanted to see her naked.
It was no mistake. They wanted to see her naked.
I had just finished getting caught up on Dave Barry's columns on the London Olympics on the Miami Herald web site, and I unconsciously assumed this was another post of his—perhaps a footnote to his coverage of beach volleyball.
“What is she doing in bed with a man she isn’t married to? Nobody has any shame any more.”
Assuming there was no /s/ tag intended for your post, I fail to see how this makes it OK for the cops to kick down her door, enter her bedroom armed, and humiliate her.

You can't be serious. Nothing wrong in a committed relationship.
Is that you Deputy Dawg?
STFU, head to Dunkin Donuts and wave your badge around.
Talk about a shrinkage inducer . . .
Fiancee, undress rehersal!
“It was no mistake. They wanted to see her naked.”
So do I...
Were they “Naked” or “Nekkid.” There’s a difference.
